I do not understand how anyone in 2018 finds the internet remotely usable without some form of ad blocker. This is how you ignore the modern salesman.

It's actually pretty simple. You just don't visit sites with ads that bother you.

EDIT: Ads bother me because they are a security hole, so you're saying I should only visits sites without them? Please.

[Goronmon]

If your point was about security then you should have stated that. It seems unhelpful to assume that someone responding to your post is a mind-reader.

If the reason the ads bother me is relevant to your point, you should have stated that.

[Goronmon]

Why would the reason ads bother you be relevant to my point. I was responding to your point about not being able to use the internet without an adblocker, which is something that's quite easy to do.

Maybe you meant to respond to a different comment thread? You seem to be confused as to the topic of this one.

[nopreserveroot]

Hopefully my edit makes it more clear for you.

The issue isn’t the ads that bother you. Its the ones that don’t. Everyone thinks of themselves as sceptical people, but we’re only sceptical of things we already don’t believe. The ads that don’t bother you, and the ones you don’t recognize as advertising are working on you just as much as the ones you don’t like.
