I selfhost and use mostly FOSS and have ways of blocking 99% of ads and locally control all my IoT so if you're willing to learn then you don't have to feel that way. Because I feel in full control and in harmony with everything.

Sure, Jan. I guess you're not using a web browser to post this? Not using an app, because that would mean having an Android or Apple phone?

I think you underestimate just how shitty everything now is, even if you're putting a massive effort in by using almost exclusively FOSS and maintaining a stack of ad blockers.
