Here’s a great blog post by @pluralistic explaining why people like me install adblockers the second after they install a browser, and very often run the likes of Piholes to also filter adtech and malware at the DNS level where possible.

I understand a lot of online publications rely on ad revenue (and I pay for some of them), but between them being a vector and one of the main ways of how certain companies build their dossiers on you, them being used as a delivery vector (which is not new, btw) is about 15 bridges too far.

But hey, apparently #1984 was an instruction manual and not a warning.
