.Offline advertising doesn’t really bother me because I hardly ever see it, and when I do most of it is not aimed at me so I tend to tune it out.

I block internet advertising as much as I can because, like you say, it is invasive and predatory. Google adsense once followed me all over the internet offering cures for an incurable disease and it’s the worst feeling because you know it’s a lie but there’s that desperate side of you that wants it to be true so badly. After that I became a lot more serious about blocking trackers.
