ads have made non subscription accounts on grindr, spotify etc completely unusable.

ugh ffs

Hopefully adblocks will find a way.

Ads have the opposite effect on me, it's guaranteed I will never want your product.

I had a friend who ran a super, super successful business. She said if you have to turn to groupon or YouTube ads to drum up money ....it's not great. Exceptions apply. But I don't even know if I can think of a time an ad influenced me TO buy something:

Yup. I will remember you as pushy and loud and not my company.

Wolt and Glovo delivery services run ads on YouTube fucking nonstop. I surely don't understand why and it's so annoying

Adblockers will find a way to block them anyway, their last attempt failed after a few days

I had to remove the adblock on youtube at the beginning of the year cause youtube purposely would the video pretty much unwatchable by slow loading.

uBlock Origin is what I use and it's perfect

It's a great one (although I keep AdBlock running as well). It's brilliant for Radio Garden if you're located in the UK using that site to listen to radio stations in other countries. <3

I use uBlock Origin too, but unfortunately it isn't effective against this new ad injection technique. I guess I was unlucky in being chosen as one of the guinea pigs for this new roll out.
