i don’t watch ads. never. i see one, it’s instantly muted. i never read, watch, listen to ads…

unless i have a need for something and am searching for the deal that suits me.

otherwise, i’m just watching someone trying to get money from me…and i have never found that to be an advantage to me. if i didn’t need it, i don’t need to watch ads for it.

try it…maybe, like me, your stress levels will go down.
