    I don’t run Adblock because I hate brands, I use it because the internet is more invasive by the day.

    If one day I go to put on my shirt and another company sewed their logo over the neck hole, well then we’ll have a similar issue.

      You go to reach for a coffee and the wrist hole of your sleeve suddenly accordions over your entire hand as an ad unfurls from your shoulder.

        I open the toilet seat to have a pee, a three foot flag unfurls from the ceiling, ITS HONDAFEST!

        A small corporate social media account emerges from the bowl, screaming relatable phrases it copied from r/memes. ITS GIVING SAVINGS, FAM NO CAP.

        My wife enters asking if I’m ok. I reach out for her, too late, she has become a smiling vacant eyed Summer’s Eve ad. Not so fresh, I weep.

      I use it because that increasing invasiveness really messes with my ADHD. Ads make me spend extra energy and concentration to filter to what I want (and I won’t buy their crap anyway).
