Wherever I go, I often see the sentiment "This website has ads, so it's trash" pop up in conversations. And honestly I don't quite get why. 90% of the internet has always had ads, you just scroll past them and mind your business. At least they're personalized now so you can pick a topic you like instead of diapers and miscellanous spammy trash as there once were.

My shows have ads

My videoes have ads

My video games have ads

My language learning app...ads

My podcasts...3 mins of ads

Not just banner ads like the old days but content covering ads, noisy ads, unskippable ads, 1 of 3 ads. It's totally out of control.
