For real. No one else in my life uses Adblocker, so when I visit, I’m reminded of how horrible ads have gotten.
I don't like the term "NPC", but like... the adridden experience they just endure without just googling "how to stop ads" makes me really wanna call them "NPCs"
Any term we pick is going to be offensive. We're gesturing at the concept of them being less human than us
But like... It's kind of true. It's like they don't experience the world around them, they just adapt to it without comment like a Sim
They just seem like they're missing the spark. NPC is probably a kinder term than what we'd come up with otherwise
