  Yes, from what I understand. They are using ad services from the big ad companies, and because capitalism sucks they are completely fine with selling the spots.

  if you do not have a system to VPN into your home I would suggest get a firewall (preferably one you can install openWRT of opnSense on) and VPN into your LAN when away from home.

    My TPlink omada router has Wireguard built in, so I use WG tunnels on my mobile devices to tunnel home where my PiHole (soon to be replaced by Technitium) blocks ads and malicious content.

      My flint2, came with OpenWRT, but I installed a vanilla OpenWRT onto it it handles my many different wifi APs, all my vLANs, and a couple VPNs. I have a finally tuned pihole setup, I could not imagine changing it, I was watching this video by SomOrdinaryGamer so I went to the site he made an example of and I got no ads with just my pihole.
