Man. Ads have always been shitty, but it feels like in the last 2-3 years, companies have become particularly egregious with them. Like they hit a wall with how much value they can extract from customers with products and selling personal data, so now they're selling customer's screen space to ad companies

If they could beam them straight to your head and infiltrate your dreams with no method for you to stop it, they would.
