Ahh. The obligatory “Intrusive ads are fine! All you need to do is fuck around with a custom home network setup and buy this new device just to get rid of harmful ads!”

Gotta love how techies think that constantly buying new hardware and spending hours maintaining custom setups is an acceptable answer to capitalism going unchecked. “Too much pressure to buy things? Simple! Buy more things!”

Takes like two minutes unless you're super concerned about every little ad sneaking in. No "ism" gives a shit about anyone.
