You are not alone. I'm also like this. Ads are horrible both in concept and in execution; their existence causes all kind of troubling incentives (for example: all those discussions about youtube radicalising young people because their algorithm prioritises polarising content? Remove the incentive to increase engagement at all costs, which is caused first and foremost by advertising, and the problem it's gone); and the worse of it is that we know there are a lot of very smart people out there, with a good grasp of how a human mind works, whose job is to insert tricks into advertising to manipulate you (by the way, this is not just about dark patterns, which is another can of worms of its own, but about neuromarketing and similar concepts). And then there are astroturfing campaings, which by design are even more dishonest than standard advertising.

I really, really despise advertising. It can't disappear soon enough.

To make this comment a bit less ranty, I'd like to add something: some people believe that ads don't work on them. I very much disagree. Ads DO work. That's exactly why I don't want anywhere near me.
