You get used to it in a few days, and it's part of the reason why businesses grow so much faster in the US (especially online). People who want your product find out about it much faster.
For example I buy SaaS, and the way I hear about most tools are ads. I choose what to buy via references and evaluation, but ads are often how to get things on my radar. Without Ads, I would have bought worse software in the past
I don't even know how to reply to that, but I feel the need to call it out as, potentially, the most creepy-as-fuck quote-unquote justification of literally anything.
Why do you need ads for that? Why doesn't your research for things that you buy not start with looking up the list of all prominent contenders in that niche?
If your "problem" is so insignificant that you're not even aware that there exists a category of products that might "solve" it, it sounds to me like you don't actually need the product.
You got used to blocking all ads back in the "punch the monkey" days, while also wondering about the externalities of flyers put under car windshield wipers, many of such flyers ending up in the drains and gutters as you walked around the unwalkable America. Perhaps America would be less a miserable place with fewer ads?
You remarked to a coworker that it would be a great justice if a Porta Potty truck overturned onto a spammer, and you respond to your coworker —good, hit them with another. Alas that karma does not work that way.
You forgot when the modern web got so bad—indeed, has only continued to, well, you have a term for it now, "enshittification"—as you do not recall the moment of souring. Was it a decade ago, or more like two?
You is here used in the Hindu sense of you being divided from you, as that is a good way to explain you being both a great fan of ads and you holding them in extremely low regard. You may also recall that you sometimes make "you're either with us, or against us" pronouncements.
