I'm so guilty that Andersonville wouldn't be out of the question as my
punishment.

ANither way of doing is looking at the ads then contacting the company
passing the ad explaining them that because of this ad you'll never buy
again from them.

This is classic clickbait, but yes, why not.

The funniest part of it for me was when he claimed that blocking ads took
food out of the mouths of children. "Think of the chilllldren!" If
blocking ads is so horrible, what terrible things am I doing by blocking
ten of the eleven tracking cookies?[1]

[1]I don't block Qvfdhf, because it actually does something I want done,
but YMMV.

While we're on the subject, why aren't you guys buying my buggy whips?

Because we want to steal the food from the very mouths of your children.
Is this a trick question?

Now that I think about it, for about 40 years, I've been getting up from
my chair during a sporting event and going to take a piss, or get a
brew, when the TV ad came on ...

I have killed. The blood of children is on my hands.

The resident packet sniffer pushed into your EFI BIOS by an "OS update"
will monitor network activity. When a particular web page doesn't load
completely, the owner of the web page will be notivied, and an automatic
DMCA notice will be sent to your ISP and (three weeks later) to you.
After $SMALLINT such notices have been sent out, your ISP blacklists you,
and the BIOS will format your hard drive, because you are clearly a
criminal. If possible, the format process will first wipe out all the
directories under /home or equal, to make forensic recovery more
difficult.

Because some of us had enough dealing with buggy hardware.
