I'm so done with the advertising industry. They will keep trying to follow us. Not even because it works, but because it's Google's the other companies' moat. Only with their pervasive tracking networks can they sell tracked ads.

If there was no tracking, anonymous content sensitive ads would be more popular and thus valuable.

Unfortunately even Mozilla is now trying to appease advertisers with their PPA initiative. I don't want purchases to be attributed.

I will continue blocking all ads forever and circumventing them in other ways possible (like pirating content and using paywall blockers). I'm done trying to fix the system.
