I am honestly sad and sick of the sheer volume of ads, well, everywhere and in everything. Internet, tv, even in the real world you are bombarded by ads from every angle. Every time any free app or service gains traction, boom, there are ads now.

Capitalists: BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

Me: With what money???

Literally though! This is literally the entire reason I got fed up with ads! What's the point if I'm too poor to buy the junk they're hawking?!
