As I user, how does this impact me?

Websites become less profitable and need to show more ads to survive.

That's why I use AdNauseam (a fork of uBlock but with a nicer philosophy).

And Brave blocks ads. The circle closes itself.

Seriously though, internet seems to me to be like a shopping mall and websites tend to be store fronts in the past few years. Search engines have to survive too and tend to be the mall directory. If it wasn't for the fediverse I'd hardly visit any websites. If you have any suggestions on how I and others could improve our browsing experience, I would be grateful.
