Fucking uber have ads, my bank app have ads, everything have ads now. It's a Fucking nightmare.
And, no kidding, sometimes ads have ads.
It's called "browsing American news websites with internet explorer and no addblocker"
That still has less consequences than unprotected internet.
Gas station pumps have fucking ads while you pump
Uber has ads in the cars?
The app, sometimes cars have ads too.
Wtf. Uber is not even cheap.
Greed knows no bounds.
We were all fed the lie that ads were a necessity to "pay" for services that were otherwise free to the consumer. Of course, it was always the plan to charge for anything that really took hold, and it was concurrently the plan to throw more and more ads on everything anyway -- it's just now, they're considered normalized.
At least we don't have ads in our dreams!
