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.
