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

    If you have a subscription to AdGuard (either the VPN or just the adblocker service), they’ll give you DNS and proxy servers that you can add to your router’s configuration that block all ads for all devices on your network. It’s awesome. It even works on mobile game ads. Worth every penny, in my opinion. There might be some free services out there that do the same thing.
