Ads are an attack, aimed at your brain. They try to inject malware into your thinking, manipulating your worldview and your actions.

That's horrible, worse than attacking a machine with malware, damaging persons and societies.

Decades of ad propaganda have tricked people into seeing them as something 'normal'. But we shouldn't accept being under constant attack of brain worms.

I propose a sane rule for all humans: if you see an ad somewhere, or if you suspect a hidden ad ('influencers' trying to promote something), close the tab immediately and never return to that site.
