Yesterday I sat across a woman on the subway who had to rapidly tap her smartphone's screen every few minutes to stop loud video ads.
Was tempted to lecture her about the existance of adblockers. (But didn't, following established subway etiquette...)
She’s apparently never heard of earbuds either
She didn't watch videos, just scrolling and reading.
Only interrupted by regular autoplay video-ads from hell...
Jesus. I don't think an adblocker would help if she couldn't manage the fucking volume buttons.
Lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink and all that.
