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.
