That's why ads are now being tested on the OS level.

The Censuswide report indicates that 66 percent of experienced advertisers use ad blockers.

Straight from the source.

And a funny quote I found from Cory Doctorow a year ago: "One in four web users has installed a blocker, making it (in the words of Doc Searls) the largest con­sumer boycott in history".

All sorts of people are fed up with this shit.

That, and the spam texts and calls. I hit the wall with this last night, and finally got a call/text screening app. fuck that noise.

I just don't even answer my phone anymore unless I recognize the number. It's exhausting.

I was spending way too much time blocking numbers. I legit got 3-4 calls a day and about the same for texts. It seems to go in spurts though

I've noticed that spurts thing too. I'm a sole proprietor so I also get endless business loan text spam. Those also seem to go in spurts for some reason. One week I'll get two a day and then nothing for the next couple weeks.

If you're on Android, checkout Yet Another Call Blocker. Works great, I've used it for 10 years now.
