I knew about ad blockers before I started using one. Small sidebar or header ads weren't really enough to convince me I needed one.

Now the Internet has so many popups, ads, aggressive video players, requests to accept cookies, all because some people figured out how to make websites more profitable by making them worse. It's sad, really. The Internet of old was great.
