A couple of years ago I quit Facebook because of the increasing number of ads and sponsored content. The ads plague has now come to Twitter and Reddit, the two other social platforms I enjoy.
At this point, I was so sick and tired of ads and decided that there has to be a way to hide every bit of sponsored content. Although you can block and hide ads one by one, it is not something I wanted to spend my time on so my team and I began looking for a way to automate it.
I was sure that I was not the only person frustrated with all the promoted tweets and ads. I did my research and saw a lot of people complaining on Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, and Facebook.
So it was a no-brainer for us to create BlockZilla and help others hide sponsored content from their feeds.
I'll be happy to hear your thoughts and how you deal with all the promoted content these days.
