Totally agree. I have adblockers on my browsers (FireFox - uBlock Origin, Safari - 1blocker) and don't remember the last time I saw an ad (even on YouTube). Been years since I last logged on to any Facebook property. Switched to mostly using Safari after iCloud Private Relay came out. Thought I was following good privacy hygiene. Covid lockdown freed up some time to focus on health so started consuming strength training/workout content on YouTube and blogs. Logged into Facebook on my Mac a couple weeks ago to view a family video that a relative forwarded. The first ad I see on my feed is for protein powder. Totally blew my mind! There is no escaping Facebook surveillance.
