Mobile users mainly have no grasp of this, and that is what most people Globally have used to be on-bordered statistically speaking, and they don't know anything else--I was watching a friend show me a recipe online not too long ago on his 1200 iphone and when ad showed up I just looked perplexed to disgusted to him. I told him to get an adblock to avoid that, he simply locked at me and said he 'didn't want to pay for it' and I just let it go and watched the ad in silence.

This is a person who spends an ungodly amount of time on tiktok as well, we were watching trending desert recipes and there are tons of them there that people want try so he justified all the ads he watches as 'market research.'

I regret to say that this is the norm, the dude has a MSc in Structural/Civil Engineering from a reputable University so it's not a schooling thing, just more like of a 'not online before smartphone' kind of thing to me.
