I had no idea that ads were getting this pervasive. I don't have a smartphone. I don't live near or even visit Chicago. I don't watch TV. And I own tech that is old enough that I have all the power over it. Despite years of them trying to get me to pay for a YouTube membership through trying to destroy adblockers or putting up minor annoyance hurdles that we figure out how to combat nearly as quick as they can come up with them, I can watch YT all day long without ever watching a single ad.

I don't know how ya'll do it. You should say no.

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

We don't watch ads either.
