    It’s more about wanting to take a break from looking at a screen and watching shitty ads for so many hours per day.

      People need to (re)discover adblockers and alternative apps.

      • Firefox+uBlock Origin takes care of nearly all ads on the web.
      • NewPipe Lets you watch YouTube without ads (and lets you download videos).
      • Pixelfed is like insta without the ads (or people, lets be honest, but you gotta be the change you want to see)
      • Mastodon is twitter without ads
      • Lemmy reddit without ads

      We have the tools and technology, its just a matter of people making the move, but that’s hard because of the network effect.
