Slay the Spire developer Casey Yano reflected on the natural human behavior that is avoiding ads like the plague. "From a very young age, when I saw an advertisement I was like, 'why isn't AdBlock blocking this?'" said Yano.
I think this is the prevailing attitude among anyone young with any amount of technical know-how. Ads are incredibly fucking obnoxious.
Huge agree. If ads weren't so invasive or literal malware, I would probably still view them, but they couldn't leave well enough alone so I'm waging my own Butlerian Jihad against advertising in my life using networking hardware.

I kept cable so I could watch sports, at some point I gave up sports because of the ads. Then I gave up cable.
I've installed a pihole, and pirate everything mostly because I do not want to see ads. The being free part is just a bonus.
If your gas pumps play ads while I'm filling up, I will not come back.
If you must have advertisements I will simply go without. Youtube is trying very hard to be next on the chopping block.
I don't understand how companies don't get this about the younger generations, we'll twist ourselves into pretzels to avoid ads.
