  Yeah, I’ve noticed it’s gotten really bad. I’m not a sports fan myself, but I’ve tried watching NFL with my brother, and it’s borderline unwatchable due to the sheer amount of ads.

  What’s a good service provider for this? Most ISPs don’t provide usenet access anymore, and I’ve heard the free service providers are wack.

  I’m gradually getting to the point where I’ll drop Spotify. Shoving ads for podcasts in my face every time I launch the app was bad enough, but now their app has become such a bloated mess that it bugs out whenever my phone is switching between wifi and mobile data. I have more than 1k songs downloaded just so I don’t have to deal with that, and now I have to deal with it because it’s more important to them to show ads and promotions than it is for their app to do what it’s designed to do.

  And before anyone says “tHoSe ArEn’T aDs,” showing me recommended artists and podcasts against my will is absolutely a form of advertising. Do you think they’re showing me new releases from Joe down the street? These are paid promotions, aka ads.

  That’s good. Someone’s gotta keep those CIA honeypot workers employed.

  Why did it become associated with Qanon in the first place?
