    My grandmother clicks on everything, constantly… On her phone I tried setting her up with a DNS based ad blocker and it made it so her freemium games stopped working, the ones that give her 5+ minute ads every 15 minutes…

    She refuses to use an adblocker because of it, but gets herself scammed out of money weekly due to these shitty malicious ads.

      I recently had an opportunity where I could have put a 79 year old lady on the internet.

      Then I remembered that she once told me how she was waiting for money from like publisher’s clearing house or something.

      Then I remembered that bulk of the internet, as a whole, is kinda shit…
