Most of the web and apps feel hostile these days

On Playstation starting the YouTube app now gets you a full screen unskippable ad before even reaching the app

Prime video show you ads even if you're a paying customer

Every now and then I listen to a podcast to fall asleep, 50% chance I'll be jump scared by a 0.1kbps ad in German that has the volume 4x louder than the podcast itself
