Do you leave the house? Or just take your desktop with you?

I don't need to watch videos when I'm not home. And I prefer a real screen.

I was thinking more about the fact you’ve not seen an advert for 10 years.

They’re on every site these days not just videos. Perhaps you just meant video ads.

It's really not difficult at all to avoid almost every single ad, just use ublock origin in your browser (use firefox on android to be able to use ublock origin on mobile), and use newpipe on your phone for watching youtube videos.

I do use ublock on my pc but still see some ads.

On my phone in iOS but I use NextDNS which gets rid of a lot of ads. So much so that if I search for X and you get the shopping results I have to turn off NextDNS to be able to follow that link.

But I still see ads.

I use Firefox & uBlock Origin, it stops ads everywhere. I won't use a computer that does not have that installed. I see no ad on any site of any kind.
