do what I do. every time grammarly interrupts my YouTube viewing, I say out loud clearly to myself "fuck off grammarly", and then I use YouTube-download to get the video without the ads.

every time Facebook shows me an advert for solar panels, I close Facebook (I only go for the pictures and stories of cats getting in awkward situations).

I've amassed a ton of books for my old age - some day I'm going to go offline and never go back online.

I actually pay for YouTube to not show me advertising, but I'm also a fan of UBlock Origin and yt-dlp [1], and also physical media, but I do appreciate ebooks a lot.
