  • Still feels crazy though how aware you’re forced to be about ads lurking in every corner. I check many of these boxes plus some others, use independent OSs, 3rd party apps etc. And still, although I hardly see any ads, they are so present just lurking under the surface.

    Good example are sponsor comments in yt videos/podcasts. Some I can filter out with Sponsorblock, but the little video glitch reminds you every time that you have to stay safe. Podcast ads can easily be slipped with the fast forward button, but if you’re washing the dishes etc., sometimes you can’t react directly.

    It’s really insane how ads are just everywhere these days.

    I think if you’re creative, you can come up with a similar CV for yourself.

    I, for one:

    • have won a mini golf tournament at age 12
    • received an award for my achievements in school
    • wrote and recorded several songs

    (Don’t ask for details please but these are all true, technically)

    With the right parents added, I would have also achieved:

    • buy a luxury house

    Quick Wikipedia search only revealed that she grew up in a neighborhood in Seoul known for its “affluent inhabitants” hope that helps.

    Also, note how none of the listed achievements have any social notion to them. No supporting people in need. No protesting war. Singing a K-pop song and buying a house. Congratulations
