I feel exactly the same way. Much less of a physical addiction for me. For a long time I was in the “not addictive” camp, but realized that there was a reason that I was resistant to stopping. I’ll still partake, but I’m more mindful about recognizing when its becoming a dependance issue again.

I usually run my adblocker because there have been too many instances of malicious ads and just overly annoying advertisements. I will support creators directly when possible, and in other cases will disable the adblocker for specific sites that I trust and find value in. The advertising industry did this to themselves, I don’t feel bad for using the blocker.
