Given all my adblockers, getting ads at all is what scares me
- frippa ( @frippa@lemmy.ml ) 7•1 year ago
Yesterday my ublock failed me and I had to watch a full 5 seconds of ads for 3 times! Fortunately it seems to work after updating filters now
- Tetra ( @Tetra@kbin.social ) 8•1 year ago
See, that right there is true horror.
- frippa ( @frippa@lemmy.ml ) 5•1 year ago
Yeah, Idk why but ublock auto-nuked the filters I entered (that nice custom filter from Tumblr), i didn’t notice but I did after the satanic torture by yt (15 secs of ads I won’t get back) I fortunately went on the dashboard and noticed my filters weren’t there, immediately re-pasted them.

Wait, did we go from being freaked out that our devices might be passively recording our speech to accepting it as the “good and normal” version of things? Cause I’m pretty alarmed at both.

I genuinely feel bad for the people who actually get ads online these days.

Imagine getting ads in 2023.
uBlock Origin and uMatrix chads rise up

Firefox mobile gang.
Chrome has ads on ads on ads these days, it’s terrible.

Also revanced/piped.video, sponsorblock, spotX … probably more
- GreenMario ( @GreenMario@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year ago
Shit. Add modded Spotify and YouTube to the list. If it can be blocked I’ma do it.
- cheery_coffee ( @cheery_coffee@lemmy.ca ) 2•1 year ago
We looked into it more deeply and found that apparently what happened is users started blocking ads through the chromium browser extension APIs, so we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.

Can’t you do all the script blocking from uMatrix in uBlock Origin?

No ads
- Phen ( @Phen@lemmy.eco.br ) 12•1 year ago
Don’t worry, those big platforms can’t read your thoughts. Those ads aren’t there because you thought of those things.
Because it’s the other way around. They want you to buy the stuff they have ads for so they manipulate you into thinking about those things first.
So they have read AND write access to your thoughts.

The largest field for people with psychology or sociology degrees is advertising. They know how people think, how societies think, and are getting better at influencing both every day.
- regalia ( @regalia@literature.cafe ) 12•1 year ago
I haven’t seen ads in years lol. I’m very aggressively adblocked on every layer possible. Even down to setting my router to use an adblocker dns as a final protection layer.

You get ads
😱

Can’t even imagine getting a simple ad
- dave_r ( @Dave_r@reddthat.com ) 7•1 year ago
Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.
I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

Google basically uses the same tricks “mind readers” do except they have a lot more information. They don’t need to read your thoughts or listen in to your conversations. If you start looking at cribs online they’re going to send you ads breast pumps in a few months followed by baby food makers 6 months later.

Ad-blocker blocker blocking ad blocker in sites scares me
- nxdefiant ( @nxdefiant@startrek.website ) 5•1 year ago
What’s really gonna bake your noodle later is if you’d have thought about that thing at all if it wasn’t something they were advertising…
- ZarbtheBard ( @ZarbtheBard@lemm.ee ) 5•1 year ago
I used to get ads exclusively for cleaning supplies on this one music app I used only when I cleaned. Never talked about cleaning, just the sounds of cleaning and dishes being done. Probably a coincidence but it freaked me out enough I stopped using that and just downloaded a shit ton of music to my phone.
