Mobile ads suck so bad. How did we get here?

I have a pihole.
Every time I go out onto LTE I experience the shittery that the rest of the world lives with every day. It is brutal. I have no idea how people do it.
It's funny, even sync for lemmy I never use it outside because it also has huge shitty ads. But on my network all is nice and clean!
You can also host a VPN server with your pihole so you don't get ads on LTE either.
Yea I've considered that but I'm afraid of opening up anything on my local network to the outside. I'm not sure I'm technical enough to risk accidentally opening something that's a vector for attacks. I'm ok with everything only accessible from 192 I'm not out enough for it to matter too much.
Investigate tailscale, run your phone's internet thru your pihole when you're out and about, or set your phone's dns to dns.adguard-dns.com. No-one should have to live with that crap.
Will check it out, thanks!
