Like you're on a new device or borrowing a computer, and you open a webpage - and literally every website blankets your screen with ads every-which-way and all kinds of permutations of springing up to try and get you to accidentally click on something. The actual news article or whatever is just an afterthought.

Literally - how the fuck do people use the internet without an adblocker.

    "Advertising don't really affect me" - people I know. Aka, I'm immune to propaganda. Nonsense

      Yeah, my friends are the same. Half the time they don't even realise they're clicking on an ad, and it's not a search ad, it's a remarketing carousel or something.

      I'm in marketing and I've got the return on ad spend data right here and it says hacking brains works.
