I’m in recovery and these alcohol ads are literally painful. Like one 30 second ad will make me spiral and I’ll need my antianxiety meds and my ESA. How do I stop the fucking algorithm?

For context I watch everything on my Xbox one because my laptop is broke

      Just so you’re aware, pihole/dns level adblock won’t block ads on YouTube, and I don’t think Netflix. I think a different account/turning off personalized ads are the cheapest options. For YouTube at least, using revanced/ublock origin should get rid of ads but you’d need a different device then an Xbox.
