    I’m very curious as to how you survived on the Internet without an adblocker for the last decade.

      My guess is they grew up with it like that. Us old fuckers privy to the Internet of the 90s and 00s, know what it should be.

        Scrolling marquees, blinking text, background midi music, hit counters, guest books, and web rings?

          And don’t forget huge signatures with GIFs and all sorts of crap for your favourite forum.

          It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

          Well, it was also simple at the time. I guess growing up with the bs made us hate it, then they got gud, and kids don’t care anymore today.

          Ah, yes! The days of composing websites in Notepad.

      I know right?

      I haven’t seen an ad in over a decade, and that includes TV commercials, well maybe TV commercials in sporting events

      There are still significant parts of the internet without ads.

      Although I’d admit that the gap between the demise of usenet and the birth of the fediverse was tough.
