most of people on hackernews experience very different internet than the rest of the world, due to adblocks, pi holes, netflix, paid youtube, etc...

most web pages are up to 60% ads, search results are almost all ads, tv is mostly ads

google with their "answering question" thing has thought people to just trust it and click on first results, most of which are ads

ads, cookie banners and privacy popups cover easily most of the page, especially on mobile.
