The internet is being overrun by ads (theweek.com)

The simple solution is to block "personalized" ads and the privacy invasion it feeds on.

Step 1: Install and use a hard privacy focused web browser such as Brave or Librewolf.

Step 2: Uninstall all social media apps. Only use social media through the web browser.

Social media apps exist primarily to enhance and increase privacy invasion by bypassing the web browser sandbox.

If enough people do the above, privacy invading "personalized" ads will eventually become unprofitable.
