3. I block internet advertising that flashes, moves, pops up, or make noise. I don't see any ads on our television.

If I can't make the ads go away from a place I simply don't go there.

On DU I buy a star to make the ads go away.

I have an ad free subscription the The Guardian.

I use uBlock Origin for all sites I don't regularly visit

My wife and I usually subscribe to two or three no-ad streaming services, Lately we're only watching the no-ad version of Netflix and DVDs. We quit all traditional television -- broadcast, cable, satellite -- in 2012.
