    Start teaching people to ignore ads. I know I do, and it’s something my parents taught me when I was younger.

    It won’t help with data collection, but it will make it a lot harder for these assholes to put the pieces together.

      Now a lot of advertising is hidden in plain sight. They’re articles, news stories, educational videos, youtube “content.” Adblockers don’t help when everything is either an ad, or social engineering.
