I agree with the sentiment (ads blocked in so many ways here).
However, people are looking to buy things and ads do work. I used to discover cool products and go to cool events I found because of ads and algorithms.
But I swear I haven’t seen anything worth buy for years before I went full anti-ad. Its all temu drop shipped garbage and AI cheating tools now. I don’t even get hot singles like the good old days!
I’d agree with that use of ads.
Hell, my last laptop purchase was because of an ad, but I bought a totally different company’s laptop.
