I used to be the same, but I eventually got sick of seeing these constant requests to spend my money on whoever’s product. If I see a problem that can be solved with a product, I know tlwhere to find stores, and I’ll go look for it. I don’t need 45,000 attempts at my money in case one is what I need. So I block all ads, pointedly avoid sponsored results, and use my own brain to decide what I want, when I want it.
Plus it improves my experience on all services when the UI isn’t wasted on banners and games don’t play a video every thirty seconds. I haven’t yet figured out how to block real-world ads. Maybe XR glasses with a brand censoring mod lol

Like when Daniel Radcliffe didn’t update his outfit for several months and paparazzi couldn’t sell the photos they took of him to magazines because they all looked outdated and therefore inaccurate
