    I am not immune they are distracting my thoughts and stirring my deep hate for them.

    Ads are assault. Adblock is accessibility.

    Ethical advertisements can exist, its super rare.

      With all the information that Google knows about us and everything, they could in theory be doing a great job suggesting things that would be great for us - for example showing me a product or service I don’t know exists which would help me with some problem I may be having.

      Google pretends that it’s what they do - showing the best possible ads for us. But what they do is the complete opposite, they find the best possible users to show their ads to. They have a responsibility to the ad, not to the user.
