Some examples Hugo gives are using an [ad blocker](https://ublockorigin.com/ "uBlockOrigin") on the web and muting ads when they come on TV or the radio. -I support total advertising denial and would be pleased to see more people engaging in it. I fundamentally disagree with advertising as a business model. Advertising wastes a massive amount of everyone's time and attention collectively. It promotes overconsumption. It's gotten far more pervasive and intrusive over the years, online and in real life, and the push back against it has been inadequate. +I support total advertising denial and would be pleased to see more people engaging in it. I fundamentally disagree with advertising as a business model. Commercial advertising wastes a massive amount of everyone's time and attention collectively. It promotes overconsumption. It's gotten far more pervasive and intrusive over the years, online and in real life, and the push back against it has been inadequate. Like Hugo, I also use an ad blocker when browsing the web, which would be totally unusable for me without it. I don't feel an ounce of guilt for using it either. It's my computer and I'll decide what content loads on it and what doesn't. I see no reason why I'm morally obligated to forego control over my own computer and waste CPU, RAM, and bandwidth looking at ads for products I'll never buy to financially support a business through a business model I'd rather didn't exist. |
