I use a pi-hole on my network, and use adblock in my browser. I don't see ads, ever, on anything, unless I want to. Advertisers only have themselves to blame, too, as it is their practices that made me do this. Autoplaying video ads, pop ups, pop unders, all sorts of nefarious machinations, they have burned every bridge trying to draw attention to their crap. If all they were doing were banner ads like they were 20 years ago, I wouldn't care.

Every time I help a normie I see man made horrors beyond my comprehension. With every (((smart))) device running Android these poor fuckers get bombarded with ads everywhere, on their phone, in the car and on their refrigerator.

Yes, they do, and here is what should scare the everloving shit out of you:
Think about what happens if the country goes despotic totalitarian, and you have to rely on hiding amongst those people to avoid getting sent off to the camps.

If I ever get caught for hate speech, I'm 100% sure it's gonna be because of someone else's device. I can easily secure my own stuff, but as long as the majority of people carry rats in their pockets I'm basically fucked anywhere near normies. It is indeed very scary.

Don't use the PS5 to show jewtube videos, use a laptop or any device with GNU+Linux and mozilla based browser. (((They've))) banned ad-blockers in chromium based ones, causing the video to not load beyond 20 seconds.
Why use chrome stuff even if it's degoogled? Seems to have less functionality than something like firefox, brave, vivaldi, etc.. Or do chrome based browsers add their own functionality?
YouTube on PlayStation is all I have to watch when I’m going to bed at night. They don’t even allow the rumble app on my TV or on my PS5. It’s gay, but whatever, I don’t watch much TV anyway.
How the hell do you own a PS5, a TV, but not a computer?
You're a consooooooomer.
A laptop allows you to create content and do useful things (like downloading books). With a PS5 and TV you're just wasting your life consooooming.
Idk man, I just never had one. Grew up in the 80’s and 90’s without a computer, never felt the need to buy one later in life. Shit, I didn’t even have a cell phone until 2013, the 4 years before that I had an iPod I used with a texting app to communicate with friends when there was wifi near me. Just never my thing screwing around with computers, they seem pretty complicated, and it didn’t seem like it would be fun to game with a keyboard and mouse….and my other buddies always had the newest game consoles when I was a kid, so as soon as I started working and had the ability to buy a console, I’d make sure to get whatever was newest, still do that to this day even though I don’t really game much now.

While I generally oppose the consumerism of ads, I still maintain the belief that if an anti-consumerist needs adblockers to use the internet, they need take a break to develop some patience and lengthen their attention span. Do I recognize that ad culture is harmful to society? Of course. But can I ignore ads and click "skip" or "close"? Of course I can. You don't need to let ads affect you. To me, they're a bug or leaf in the wind.

It's foolish to assume that you are immune to their tactics. What percentage of people think they *are* effected by ads? I'd wager not many. And yet, the ads do have a strong and measurable effect on consumer habits.
This also reminds me of boycotts, see every time an attempt is made to boycott a brand, they only tell you what brand not to buy. Notice how nobody mentions the alternatives, if people need the product and don't know what other vendors sells it the boycott has essentially failed. And that's the true danger of ads.
As long as you have no default (((merchant))) in mind when thinking of a specific type of product, you'd be forced to search for vendors yourself, and will easily find the alternatives who are superior compared to kikes who spam ads 24x7.
I'm gonna have to respectfully disagree. See ads doesn't affect your attention span in itself, it's the brain rot coming from consooming too much degenerate content.
The internet has plenty of good content too, but we need to be able to access that without being bombarded by degenerate ads while doing so. If you have to watch a 20 second ad for fried chicken before you can view a 10 second clip of Uncle Adolf who do you think you'll remember? The Führer speech or that damn chicken. This is how the nigger brain is programmed.
Every time I worked on something like a public device, first thing I did was install adblocker, because it literally takes 15 seconds to go to addons and pick ublock.

PS5, well, not easily anyway.
Brave is chromium and works fine?
