    I’m so fucking tired of advertisements. I’m sick and tired of it.

      That’s basically why I am here. I can’t go back to Reddit’s official app and its ads after using Boost and Joey for years.

      This, I feel monetized. I dont like that feeling and it’s the one of the reasons i’ve stopped using reddit

      Agreed… Augmented reality is going to be a nightmare hahah

      There are ways around adds; alternative apps, addblockers, roms and privacy focused browsers. The only mandatory adds are on street corners imo

      If adblockers didn’t work, I’d be living alone in the woods somewhere.

        I work in a very historic city in the UK and I’d genuinely ban street ads entirely from the place given the chance. Other places around the world have tried it and it eliminates so much visual and psychological pollution.
