Like you're on a new device or borrowing a computer, and you open a webpage - and literally every website blankets your screen with ads every-which-way and all kinds of permutations of springing up to try and get you to accidentally click on something. The actual news article or whatever is just an afterthought.

Literally - how the fuck do people use the internet without an adblocker.

    I don't even know how physically people browse. Like, pop-ups from all edges of the screen, autoplay videos flying through, sidebars and top menus that jump in and out while scrolling. There's only a tiny hole in the middle of the ads to read the words, but even then everything jumps around on the page.
