Spam, it is not only deadly, but a fierce enemy. Sure everyone’s goal is to be spam free, but is spam something that you are going to defeat easily? No. I’d like to tell you it is possible to live in a nearly spam free world, but alas this is far from the truth.

Cost to deliver one million spam messages? Little, close to nothing.

Ways to Defeat Spam and Become ‘Nearly’ Spam Free
1. Email – Start with your email. Take the time to use the unsubscribe feature at the bottom of most spam emails.  Set up email rules.  I use web.de and can setup special rules so that whenever I get an email from a certain email address, it will automatically become deleted.
2. Browsing – Make sure your adblocker is on.  Popup ads can be blocked easily.
3. Visual - There is such a thing as visual pollution/spam the billboards that you seem forced to stare at.  Unfortunately there is no good way to get rid of these… legally.
4. TV Ads - Watch all your television delayed. Anything live and you’ll end up wasting 15 minutes watching tv ads.

We are getting bombarded everyday with more and more ads, spam, and other distractions. Already they’ve come to our phones, our email, our postal mail, our phonelines.  Sometimes it seems as if everyone wants to sell you something.  Sure you will never be ad free, but at least taking a few steps to reduce that might just save you time from deleting spam, watching commercials, and any other daily distractions.
