I’m just so tired of ads nowadays, ads for cars i can’t afford, ads for crap i’m never going to buy, ads for the supermarket i’m going to no matter if they have some discount…it’s all useless and a waste of my time and invasion on my peace.

I bought the devices, i pay for the internet connection and i pay the rent on this house, i decide what makes it inside my house.

I don’t need this funny clip my supermarket made to market overpriced holiday food 46 times a day that lasts 60 seconds and is only funny the first time i see it. I’m not going to buy a tiny christmas cake that barely feeds a child for €15, realistically it’s value to me is €1,50 compared to my wage and amount of food i get in return. I’m buying store brand m&m’s and a loaf of bread like i do all year.

If you can’t keep existing without shoveling truckloads of ads into my face, then go bankrupt…i don’t give a damn. You’re not worth €16 a month to me either or whatever the price is nowadays. Just fuck off i’ll get my entertainment elsewhere, heck i might dust off that ps4 and buy used dvd’s for 25 cents a piece.

Modern day life over here requires the internet, our government has taken away options that use paper and replaced it with websites. Same goes for banks.

The reason i don’t switch is because the price is fair enough and i have less connection issues compared the all the others we have available.

This type of news makes me want to step away from the interner entirely.

I tried setting it upfor my router.

But the insteuctions just go: “change ipv4 to x” and “change ipv6 to x”.

There are no ipv4 or 6’s so i need to add them, but it won’t let me add without a specific name but it doesn’t give me any requirements for the name.

So i’m stuck.

It’s with all those silly free apps tho, sometimes i’ll go there and have some fun game which he installs on the spot…no ads.

So it can’t be with the apps itself.

Heck i’ve burned myself on a couple of those games where i would go: “i’ve played for weeks, might as well buy out the ads and save myself the headache” and it will still have ads, for power ups or some other similar things.

You won’t get me off adblock, as of recently i’ve come to find we get significantly more ads compared to friends and family.

My dad plays wordfeud, so i install and play a set with him…about 5 seconds in i get frustrated at the 4th ad and my dad goes: “which ads”.

My friends keep telling me i’m taking the youtube ads far too serious as they are only 10 seconds and show it to me too.

My youtube ads are 1 minute unskippable blocks before and after 1m 51s videos. I’ll get a 1min ad block halfway into a 5 minute video even though youtube themselves claim they don’t do that.

How the fuck am i so fucked when it comes to ads, my dads phone is almost completely ad free. Heck the google top suggestions that are basically paid for ads don’t even show up on his phone.

He can play those free apps (advertisement feeding software) without getting any ads and he’s adamant his phone isn’t modified.

Sometimes i wish i had the balls to just tell them off, but that usally takes a lot of being pestered with bullshit until i snap back.

I know it’s not about me, but this definitelt cleared up why i run from people in my free time.

They always express how they think i do things, like i’m at work or something. While i do things for joy, i take a detour home on my roadbike because the speed i can propel myself at brings me joy and a bit of a thrill too. The scenery is also very enjoyable.

But then another roadcyclist shows up and tells me how i’m doing it all wrong, how speed isn’t a good measurement of performance.

Fuck yo performance brother, stop. It ruins my fun.

Jokes on them tho, they lack common understanding.

I watch a video about someone modding a shitbox and they think i can afford this new spyker sports car or any other 80k e car.

Obviously that shit is a swing and a miss. You want to give me advertising that suits me? Start by advertising stickers about cars because that’s something i could afford…not something i would buy tho.

Where is it tho, can’t seem to find it.

Try to run something like fusion360 or freecad to see if your device can handle those, they will come in handy once you’re ready for them.

Thanks, i like it…so far

It’s one of the few places i have managed to find some like minded people when it comes to some sexual interests of mine, it would probably make me sad for a bit if i can’t use it anymore.

We’ll see what happens, being EU i would assume they start with some decent fines followed by some heavier ones before they actually pull the plug tho.

I’m only human, haha.

I’m glad to see the discussion going on.

We know, you don’t need to admit it 10 years after the fact.

Ah i see, time for ford to go down in the history books.

Not like that will happen, but i truly think they deserve that as a result for even considering this.

I’m already sick of the amount of ads that find a way into my private living space, but i’ve managed to negate 90% of them.

“We need to make money” yeah sure, but not at the cost of me. If you want to make money off of me i need you to sell me stuff i get to keep and are actually worth the cost.

I work too much and make too little to allow them to invade my private space.

Because we all did it, our entire family, all of our friends and every coworker.

I bought a modern well made dresser from some exotic wood, cost me roughly €900 amd it got damaged after moving but i haven’t taken the time to repair it as it’s only visual.

That thing is solid af, it has more hidden supports than it needs. I could probably park a car on top and it would withstand the weight. (Obv. i haven’t tested that lol)

We went shopping for a tv cabinet and 99% turned out to be particle board but they still had the audacity to charge between €1200 and €1800 euro’s.

I remeber when it was all about the YOU part of tubin’. Real people making real content because they wanted to show it to you.

When they first started getting paid they just made more of that same stuff, heck plenty of reviewers could even be trusted as they made the reviews on their own accord.

It was my go to place for entertainment, information and to help me decide to get brand x or y for the product i need.

Nowadays i just have it on as it’s less annoying than cable but nothing is actually interesting anymore. Mature youtubers who have turned into adhd 9yo olds just to try and stay relevant, people messing with annoying sounds effects just because they read it catches the viewers attention…video’s nowadays are an attack on my home space, constantly triggering me with noise or ads just to be annoying. It’s become exhausting to consume content.

Same goes for instagram which i very much liked, it’s on constant mute for me and the only reason i’m still around is because it’s become a habit and titties.
