The futility of Ad-Blockers
Ads are filling the entirety of the Web -- websites, podcasts, YouTube videos, etc. -- at an increasing rate. Prices for those ad placements are plummeting. Consumers are desperate to use ad-blockers to make the web palatable. Google (and others) are desperate to break and block ad-blockers. All of which results in... more ads and lower pay for creators.
It's a fascinatingly annoying cycle. And there's only one viable way out of it.

Some reporters are claiming Microsoft has lost 400 million users due to MacOS and/or Linux. Sorry, that's not the truth. The loss, is from China. The CCP told people to move from Windows. And promotes Harmony OS from Huawei.
Happy 4th for us Americans
