It is a relevant ad, to be fair. In the wrong way, but...

My first thought! Targeted advertising works as designed.

I literally just drank a beer after trying to go a day without one and now I’m laughing at myself this is well timed

Shitposts aside, it can be done. Changing habits is hard but possible with a lot of effort.

Hey habits are really hard to change, especially to change for the better! You can always start with a smaller scope, like “for this afternoon I won’t be controlled by alcohol” “this next 5 minutes I won’t hand to the tech oligarchs by looking at my phone” “for this meal, the sugar monopoly won’t own me” and try to build up more and more of those segments over time where the worst people in the world don’t have control over you

Yeah, uBO for android phones and 1blocker for iOS devices… and only use browsers - not apps - to access shit online.
Tha ad’s bullshit.

You can block in-app tracking and ads largely with DNS-based blocking.

pi-hole would’ve blocked this, you’d most likely still get the same pop-up area but it would be blank

Do you keep a constant VPN connection to your home network?
Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
This is not necessary.
Just use the adblocker dns service for your phone. Takes like 2 minutes, it’s free, and you’ll never see ads.
Viceversa@lemmy.world 2 days ago
That doesn’t work with https ad though
REDACTED@infosec.pub 2 days ago
Slightly more advanced, but Lucky Patcher is still handy for getting rid of in-app ads. Don’t use it on apps that can ban you tho (especially online games). DNS designed to block ads works too.

There’s a version of uBO available for Safari now. apps.apple.com/gb/app/…/id6745342698

Switch to AdNauseam, a fork of uBO that maliciously attacks advertisers in the background with no increased data usage on your end!
foodandart@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
My one beef with AdNauseam is that for some reason on my system, it acts really wonky on youtube. Otherwise, it’s a gem.

Thanks, I just swapped over to an iPhone and was getting fed up with the fact that it doesn’t lower my have real Firefox worth uBO, didn’t know about 1blocker!
BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
If you’re using Safari you can still get uBO, it’s just called uBlock Origin Lite instead. It’s what I use, it’s quite good.

Sounds refreshing. You’ve earned it.

At least he cant say ads arent tailored to him specifically
AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Can he tho? Assuming the phone knows he’s a recovering alcoholic, would make sense if it was targeted. Could also be a carryover from when he did spend a lot on booze.
Elilol@fedinsfw.app 2 days ago
They know, they just dont care.
who is more likely to start, a non consumer or an ex consumer?
NotASharkInAManSuit@lemmy.world 2 days ago
It’s like hitting prestige in a lobby shooter. Start back at level 1, but have the skills to make it to the top all over again, like a winner.
Bud Light, prestige your beverage, prestige your recovery!
