Some fucked up shit.

Speaking solely for myself, I have accepted that I am as susceptible to marketing and propaganda as any other human, in an age where we are surrounded by it, none of it honest, none of it in my own best interest.
My response to this has been to cut off all possible routes of advertising: I literally do not watch or read anything that has ads, except possibly passing billboards and in-store ads. I don’t play games that have ads. I don’t listen to radio. I have adblocker on everything, or I simply leave. I can’t stand ads, and I have cut them out of everything I can. I’d genuinely rather quit a service than submit to ads. (And yes, I do love just plain silence, whenever I can get it.)
So yeah, I’m immune: they can’t influence me if they can’t get access. That’s the best kind of immunity there is.
The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i’m smarter than everyone, it’s because i KNOW i’m susceptible to these things.
What you’re describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure
Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure
