I agree it is an uphill battle, but it must start somewhere. Else, it only gets worse, and then movements against such abuses will get easily crushed. As I like to say, "the hardest part of a journey is the first step", but also "the future belongs to those who prepare now".
If I can’t internet without ads, I can’t internet at all.
Except it's practically impossible to exist in modern society without internet. Unless you're rich and you can get other people to do internet-requiring tasks for you.
Same. If my pihole breaks the internet because of this, welp. 🤷🏻♀️
