I get very few ads, and I've gone to great lengths to ensure that I don't expose my brain to uncontrolled psychological manipulation like that. One of the few places I still see ads, though, is also one of the giant tech things I haven't yet succeeded in breaking out of my life: YouTube.

Which is what it is, and that's wildly bad on its own. But lately, in addition to all the ICE recruitment ads, I'm also getting gun ads and it's deeply unsettling.
