#pay us $12 a month to keep yourself out of the Torment Nexus

[drifting-knightjar]

God bless the uBlock origin team. The internet is so choked with ads these days, and I really didn't know how much it was bothering me and making my life worse until it all went away--a constant background buzz that got turned off.

Also my self-esteem was MUCH improved by not constantly seeing ads--it's so much easier to look at myself and my life and see what's there instead of focusing on what isn't.

I get that websites and creators have to make money somehow, and sometimes people give me a hard time for ""stealing"" but in that whole conversation there is always a missing piece. People really downplay the actual costs of constantly being shown this crap. If it was just an annoyance, that would be one thing, but the huge quantity of ads add up to have a real, tangible, and undeniably negative effect on mental health, and I simply don't agree that choosing to spare myself that is tantamount to stealing.
