Annoyed With Ads

[caitri]

Generic ads, as seen before Youtube videos, on the corners of webpages, and so on, are ....a thing you can't get rid of no matter how hard you try. In Boulder I could generally just tune them out, but here they have started to annoy me....because they include NRA ads. Now the PTB have enough data on me to know I won't go for xenophobic bullshit, so they try to feed me ads that feature Respectable Black People (TM) talking about how important the Second Amendment is to law-abiding folks such as themselves, and  .... I read fucking newspapers, I know how that shit works on so many levels, what the fuck. My GOD I hope those actors get paid well and take long luxurious showers after, because JFC. Anyway I spent way too much time tonight fiddling with Google Ads and such like to try to minimize that nonsense. Try to sell me gay fan art, try to sell me books, flowers, interior decorating items, but FFS don't try to sell me guns and shit.

IT'S SO ENRAGING!!!!! All I want to do is enjoy some fanvids, or maybe a video of a con interview or something, but THAT is what I have been getting beforehand recently, and you have to wait at least five seconds before you can skip..... And I can get Very Angry in five seconds apparently!!!

I am so, so sorry. :( I hear you -- a lot of enraginess can fit in 5 seconds.
