I have nothing against ads in principle. Anyone who offers a service such as a useful website should of course be rewarded for it.

What I am against is intrusiveness and tracking. If advertising were just simple locally served banners in the sidebars of the website without any tracking, as it used to be, I would have no problem with it.

Exactly. To let advertisers intrude on your brain for what you get in exchange is usually an unfair bargain. People really undervalue their attention and time.

I have crippling ADHD and I am constantly amazed at how little people value their attention. Just baffled watching folks melt their brains on things like TikTok.

It's like watching a teenager buying drugs. Just... you don't know what consequences this could bring you.
