I can count on one hand all the times I've heard that song.

Mind if I turn on the radio?

Please don't.

If I visit an internet site frequently I pay to make the ads go away. If that's not an option I generally don't go there. The television in our house plays DVDs and no-advertising streaming services. That's all it does.

I hope to make any data aggregators are collecting about me less valuable.
