Yeah he mentioned things like that were happening during the blackout but he said it’s mostly back to normal for him now. He also watches TV and movies with all sorts of ads. For me, that’s an instant pivot to find something else to do. My dad has repeatedly asked me if I want some product he sees in an Instagram ad. I eventually had to tell him to specifically never get me a product he sees in an ad. People on the fediverse aren’t normal. We care a lot about things most people don’t really mind.
