I didn't adopt this. I wasn't consulted about it, and whenever possible I (and many others) voice very strongly our hatred of this model. We want it gone and will do everything in our meager power to avoid/disrupt/disengage from it.

What do you do to avoid it? I assume some combo of ad-blockers, etc. What else is covered in "everything"
The power being as meager as it is, sometimes its just posting comments in HN hoping that the tech elite see them and have it trigger some sort of deep introspection along the lines of "are we the baddies?" leading to a complete rethink and undoing of the ad/surveillance construct.
