Man I just turned 20. I’m sick of everything I do online being dictated by commercial interests. I feel like an old man. I just want my applesauce and my bingo, and to not be bothered and lumped into the white middle class 20 year-old advertising demographic.

( please stop bombarding me with scare tactic election ads google )

I lied about my age online a WHILE ago and I'm going to let you know old farts get bombarded too.

Its gotten better since my old persona died I think (you know over 120 is just out of most marketers age ranges).

I hate ads with a passion, if a friend shows me a video and an ad pops up I show them how to use fence and ad blockers on their phone right away.
