I once encounter a cafe playing some soothing music making my mood better, and then BAM! there's spotify ads with their loud sound or horror podcast, I don't really know about music royalty but it just funny a cafe not paying a penny to remove ads from spotify.

Next, I borrow my siblings laptop to watch quick video while waiting for her, and I have been forced to see the unskipable ad for about 10 second,

There's a second ad! with a minute long but skipable this time, phew that's gonna leave a mark.

Growing up watching television to watch doraemon, spongebob and other cartoon I never like the ads, let says the average duration of spongebob are about 10-15 minutes, that will be extended with ads and I only got like 2 epsiodes for 1 hour, that's pretty bad. In my teenage years, I like to playing games, watching youtube or reading meme site like 9gag, and yes there's ad too everytime I doing something online, In college years I got link reference from my friends to watch some anime online, and yes it filled with ads.

Ublock origin

Okay that enough for ads, now I want no more ads and one day I found an extension to block the ads, and BAM the ads are really gone, article ads? GONE, youtube ads? DONE, spotify ads? BAM, GONE!

Thats like changing for me to surf the internet without that annoying ads, yes the sound audio ads from spotify is gone if you use the web apps. Many years have passed, now I often on my phone than my laptop, I do realize the annoying ads aon mobile web browser is gone, but the annoying ads on free games still advertise me their unrelated ads, after more than 10 years ads still bothering me, that when I found the free ad blocker for my android device, folks, Meet
