I've got the same feeling as you!

Do you enjoy going through your mail account and unsubscribe all useless newsletters? Use email aliases? are wary of all ads and brand claims you see on social media and prefer doing our own research? hate clicking on SEA results: usually the landing page is a weird, summed up version of the full website (we want the full thing)

But i guess that's a particularity of hackers and tinkerers :)

For many different reasons make people click and buy: discounted prices, FOMO, clever retargeting, funny ads, hidden ads (sponsored/influence/fake news),...




Yeah, I give a lot of newsletters a chance, but only with Firefox single relay emails addresses which I have over 300+ currently. I probably unsubscribes 95% of them, but I did give them at least a chance. I probably should have tracked the ones I did so I could delete them.
