I'm so conditioned by ads on social media that I automatically inspect Lemmy posts when I'm browsing.

raw dogging the internet, i dont understand it 😩 and most the time, theyre completely oblivious and indifferent toward them

Having experienced it myself back in the wild days of the net before I discovered ad blockers, they were so omnipresent that you just kinda ignored them. Like noseblindness making you ignore a smell you're used to, but when other people come in your home they ask you wtf that smell is.

that sounds about right. its always a shock to see non """"tech-savvy"""" or tech-literate people just staring mindlessly at ads interrupting their shows or videos at a damn near criminal frequency. i absolutely cant staaaand it lol.
