🕯️They/them. Scaled cos from 0-$300k in arr, 7-35 employees, 0-100k users. Now I make beautiful, functional, and ethically made candles at humankind.place

Yes. I hate political ads and medication ads. I always skip them quickly so the algorithm knows not to feed them to me. If I watch them for any longer or engage with them I know the barrage won’t stop, and the algorithm will feed me irreversible, propagandized slop.

I watch all of it on my phone and the tv - is there anyway to put adblockers on those devices? Srry for the dumb q lol

I feel this deep in my brain. I used to be a streaming parasite, stealing away my parents’ and friends’ logins, but now we have all these free tier services that make me feel like I’m sitting through cable TV again.
