No worries, I get it, it's so much easier to blame the individual rather than accept that everything will get worse and worse due to powerful people and corporations.
Ultimately we should remember not to lower our standards, because if we're being honest, companies don't care about making ends meet, they care about growth. So a sustainable business that's done growing just isn't enough for them.
After all, if we excuse these ads in categories, Google might treat that as the go ahead to place ads in general inbox too, or remove the option to get rid if ads. If you give them an inch they will take a mile. But I sincerely get your frustration.
