> Ad costs are regressive too
Not to mention how they disproportionately affect "non tech savvy" groups. I almost never see ads, especially not the really obnoxious ones, and I imagine it's the same for most people here. Meanwhile elderly people are being inundated with ads that look like forms and buttons and warnings, and getting tricked into doing who knows what. Even if that's not financially regressive, it still has an outsized impact that is worse for groups that are already having a harder time of it.
- smsm42 6y agoRight. I am adblocked up to my ears, but when I use a new device or somebody's else device, I am always startled how bad it is with the ads. I'm like "people, how do you live like this? It's literally impossible to do anything!". But people get used to that. Annoyed in the best case, defrauded very commonly.
