I honestly think mobile ads in free games and other apps are some of the lowest quality piles of garbage I’ve ever had the misfortune to see, and they are constant. How did we get to this point? Where they are so horribly unbearable and yet so commonplace?

    There’s simply no “free” stuff out there, unless it’s specifically released as free/open source.

    If you’re on Android, AdAware and Lucky Patcher are quite effective in filtering/killing most ads though.

    Websites too, journalism pages in particular have become just ridiculous.

    A nearly full screen ad after every 1-3 (short) paragraphs is just bullshit.
