RE: Why Steemit is so important: in one picture
I had to smile about the ads on Instagram- back over christmas I realized that every third or forth post on facebook was an ad... and I finally blew a gasket and spent two hours going through my feed and deleting every ad and clicking on "not relevant to me"... poor facebook bots now are very confused as to whether ANYTHING is "relevant" to me :D

This is why the day I discovered Steemit was the last day I opened Fakebook.
I'm almost there my friend.... just cleaning up loose strings...

I'm almost there yet still #steemit doesn't provide localized content which is the only reason the need for the other platforms still exist with children in the house.
If you really want to confuse it, reset your advertisement ID and then it’ll have to start from scratch. I reset mine every couple of months and now almost everything that pops up is useless which makes it easier for me to spot.
Can you turn off facebook , twitter, gab, Television, ........... and program yourself? Remember it is the World Wide Web, a web catches things and never sets them free!
Yes, of course, that is true, it's caught yet that doesn't mean you need to SEE IT... Therefore resetting the advertising ID on your phone will prevent the garbage from displaying in your face.
You can also spend most of your browsing time in incognito mode and do your searching on www.duckduckgo.com
Or you can fall victim to the endless marketing (which I'm a part of) in your face.
@rockmandown I agree I use Blur and Ublock orgin and I don't see adds anywhere. So I am in control. I have used duckduckgo since they came online.
I keep my cell phone in a metal box behind my desk when I am not driving. I turn it off unless I am expecting a call. I only pay 40 dollars a year for my cell phone service. here
I have a land line for most of my calls.
I use Ubuntu on a computer I built. No windows or spyware inside. Its AMD.
