Well, except for the alternative of not watching content with excessive ads at all. If companies feel like they need intrusive ads I guess I they can do that, but they are dead to me and my life is better for it.
You do know how much tracking goes on right? It's far from just a matter of paying for ad free content. Hence I'm trying to migrate to PinePhone and get the hell off Android.
