Missing the whole point. Companies will not stop serving ads or selling data. Setup custom dns from somewhere like nextdns or a private pihole computer on your network. It works in windows, can get a micro pc from eBay or Amazon for <$150, then block ANYTHING you don't like.

I don't see ads at all anymore at home, in fact it's jarring when a page takes 2x time to load because of ads and shit.

Get these plugins at bare minimum: Ublock origin Sponsorblock Bitwarden or similar (not LastPass) for strong password management.

Stop crying about companies and take some steps to protect yourself.

i don't know why people act like complaints aren't valid and useful

If you're just going to complain, then just stfu and move on. There are a number of fixes that anyone who can follow directions can implement.

If you're complaining but doing nothing to fix it, you're wasting your time.
