The average Joe or Jane have no idea about ad blocking possibilities. They think ads are just the normal price you pay for surfing the web.

Actually about a third of all users have an adblocker installed. Adblocking has been mainstream for a while, no doubt why Google finally stopped pretending they were OK with it.

My wife didn't even notice when I turned on the pi-hole. She also told me she thinks there's a virus on her phone.

I wouldn't put a lot of faith in the intelligence of a woman who would marry a Lemmy user.

Tbf, I wasn't a leemy user when we met. But I agree. She has terrible taste in men.
