Another advertiser claimed it hasn't runs a paid ad campaign on X in years, regardless of X serving its ads to users.

        Sync is nice but I’m on ios. Currently using Avelon and it shows link previews, but only for the site.

      It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

        How would my mom go about easily blocking YouTube ads on her iPhone?

          She wouldn’t, that’s why she bought an iPhone, because “it just works!”.

            So then it really shouldn’t be too shocking for the person I replied to.

          Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.
