content: Even without the threat of malware, ads are still a system designed to persuade and to dominate minds by interfering in people's thinking patterns. That system will be used by the sorts of people who like to influence people and are good at it. No person who did not wish to dominate others would choose to use advertising. I choose not to be dominated so I block all ads by default, and I don't expose myself to old media platforms like television or radio.
