The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i'm smarter than everyone, it's because i KNOW i'm susceptible to these things.

What you're describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure

Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure
