I don’t even watch sports and I get buried in gambling ads.

Only started after moving to a somewhat struggling blue collar town, but it was immediate, and the pure volume of it was shocking. Really hit me wrong.

Adblock and VPN everywhere possible now. Degoogling, containerized browsing, hardened settings, like damn basic privacy shouldn’t have to be so much work.

Because I’m tired of wearing them by the end of the day, and most of what’s on our household tv I’m not really watching anyway.

Also if I’m messing around on my phone, glasses need to be off b/c distance, and I’m not about to put them on/off every time I switch focus when I’m just trying to relax.

I will wear them if I’m watching something intentionally, though. Like a nature documentary or something with visuals worth appreciating.
