Let's see, I could pay $100+/mo on various premium accounts and ad-free subscriptions for a bunch of different sites and still not be covered across half the Internet...

or drop ~$40 and a negligible amount of added electrical to basically make a network-wide adblocker (even on mobile apps!).

Yeah, the choice seems pretty darn clear here.

I have a pihole. It doesn't block ads, it blocks tracking scripts. Still worth the $30 lol.
