I cannot understand how some people are living with this. It is unbearable

My retired parents live with me. I went ahead and put a PiHole on our home wifi. A day later my mother was literally complaining that she couldn’t click on ads on facebook. I told her those are ads and they track her and she says “well everyone likes to use the internet how they like to use it.. can you put it back the old way? I want to look at these shoes”. Can’t fucking win.

I got a lot of complaints from family, too. Especially because I block Meta. I just let them removed and I tell them things like "those ads are broken because of malware" which isn't entirely untrue.
