Many years ago I got an adblocker because the adverts on the internet were getting too intrusive. At the time there were banners that flickered and flashed in a potentially sezure inducing way that seemed beyond insulting and stupid. I don't know if internet adverts are still aiming at gross neurological insults like that, because I have not watched any since then, but it boggles my mind that many people are tolerating a regime where the adverts on youtube are longer than the video selected and I wonder about the state of consciousness or lack of it in anybody who is able to accept it like that. I have heard that many people simply accept the default internet experience that their device presents to them - and who are therefore being psychologically violated 24/7/365 That is an astonishing fact in itself to me. Who are these people we are sharing this planet with?
