    In the 90s, I started closing any page that had an ad because I had principles. I still close pages that won’t let me read with an ad-blocker, but holy shit.

      Very early nineties: no ads Mid late nineties: many ads Early 2000’s: ad blockers become prevalent 2023: now receive an ad telling us to disable ad blocker so we can view more ads.

      We’ve come full circle. I remember when logging onto the internet was a way to escape the ads that plagued cable and satellite… now there are more…
