    It’s unlikely that you’re exceptional in your resistance to advertising.

    It’s just that 95% of all advertising fails to hit its intended target.

      I am definitely in the vast minority of people who go so far to not see ads. Not many people will tinker with a raspberry pi for hours just to avoid the possibility of an ad appearing in video streaming services. Lemmy is a bubble that way. You’d rarely meet someone in real life that uses pihole for example but there’s thousands on here who do.

      And I think the number is higher than 95%. All it takes is a tiny percentage for it to all be worth it.

          It took me hours to setup a raspberry pi for tv viewing with all the hardware and software I needed working.

          Anymore gotchas?

          I’ve never used pihole but I’m sure you could spend hours tweaking it if you wanted to anyhow.

          I’m just not even sure what your point would be no matter how I interpret this. If pihole is quick to setup, you really think many people use it? It’s probably way under .0001% of households using that.
