Terry Gross Quotes
I have to match wits with the ads. Like, there's pop-ups that, like, move around and you have to chase them like it was a video game or something.

And so I spend all my energy - instead of, like, absorbing what the advertiser wants to communicate to me, I spend my energy trying to figure out how to defeat the ad.
