    I use Youtube near exclusively with adblockers so never seen anything of the sorts, so I’d like to ask for you to give examples of such ads.

      There’s an ad that starts out as a regular cig, then it gets coated in black plastic, becoming an e-cig. That’s all there is to it, disgusting.

    My god…

    The internet is truly just TV from the 60s and 70s again.

    Now we have to wade through several decades of advocacy by health organizations to get these removed, etc.

    Fucking humans. Capable of such beauty… And abhorrent baseness.

      On a browser on my PC the choice is easy.

      On every other device I own there is substantial friction to blocking the ads(by design)
