I’m very curious as to how you survived on the Internet without an adblocker for the last decade.

My guess is they grew up with it like that. Us old fuckers privy to the Internet of the 90s and 00s, know what it should be.

Scrolling marquees, blinking text, background midi music, hit counters, guest books, and web rings?

Well, it was also simple at the time. I guess growing up with the bs made us hate it, then they got gud, and kids don’t care anymore today.

There are still significant parts of the internet without ads.

Although I’d admit that the gap between the demise of usenet and the birth of the fediverse was tough.
