    Who, in 2025, doesn’t either use a PiHole, adblocker in browser, and/or just mute and change out the window while the ad is playing?? It’s crazy people still voluntarily want to be exposed to consumerist propaganda.

      My primary media device is a PS4, so while a pihole might do something, I can’t add anything to the device itself.

      I just mute and look at Lemmy on my phone till I can skip the ad.

        Ultimately you can still control your own perception, so that’s good to mute and ignore if that’s all you can do. Of course eventually they’ll develop technology to not continue playing your show until they see your eyes are looking at the ad and it’s unmuted, like in Black Mirror.

          Amazing reply.

          “PEOPLE SHOULD JUST DO THIS, IT’S EASY”

          “Do you have a resource to help me with the easy thing?”

          “NO FUCK OFF”

            That’s not what I said. I don’t have the resources in front of me nor do I want to go find them again. In the time it took to make that comment you could just type into google and get the answer.
