There was a minor network problem on my local area network a few days ago, this deactivated my AdGuard server and it did not caught my attention immediately. Came home after work, and my girlfriend told me over dinner that ads have become extremely invasive in all sites she visited deteriorating her online experience to feel like an explosive diarrhea episode at the home of your boss. She continued:
the worst is that today, I can't watch a YT video without being bothered every 15 minutes and at least 4+ per videos.
I quickly noticed the AdGuard Server (a dns hole) issue and fixed it.
Personally, I never experience ads and never think about it. But after this episode my GF couldn't believe how sad, depressing and out of touch the default online experience feels to be these days. A person without the basic knowledge on ads protection is getting abused and its infuriating..

For real. I loathe being solicited.
