Wow that is terribly ad ridden.
It never stops being so fucking weird that people choose to not use ad-blockers, and then complain about ads. Do you also not wear seat belts and then complain about neck pain after fender benders, or eat raw meat and then complain about getting sick? It’s just as dumb.
It’s weird to me that people complain about how long it takes to get to work, why don’t they just aggressively speed to get there earlier?
Sites need money to run and many rely on ads. Blocking them is an asshole move (that I admittedly do) but so is dumping them all over a page. It would be nice to have some sort of pay for what you use alternative but until then, bitching isn’t half as weird and obnoxious as whatever you’re doing in this comment
Blocking them is an asshole move
An asshole move is designing a site that bogs down your computer so that they can try and sell you garbage while simultaneously collecting and feeding data about the sites you visit to a corporate surveillance network in order to more effectively sell you more garbage.
An asshole move is consuming other people’s work without giving them something in return and then bitching at anyone that accurately points out you’re a leech
But yes, the current ads based system is mighty broken. I did touch on that, so did the comment before me, and I’m surprised an expansion felt needed
Then they should lock their ‘property’ up behind logins and shit. Nobody owes anything to some random person that share on the internet. It is not my job or responsibility to support some rich Unt’s ideology and belief that people should horde ‘property’ and force others to pay them, instead of open source sharing.
Ads are ‘enshittification’ - the hallmark of capitalist/psycho attitudes.
Oh, and please remember that Ads are pure manipulation - not a ‘service’ !
Never said ads are good nor that adblockers shouldn’t be used
Most of your arguments hold for stealing from a baby “they should protect it better, I don’t owe them shit”
This one “why shit allover someone saying a website has more ads than usual” comment I made seems to have found a lot of selfish assholes that can’t not force their views on other people and tell them how they should live their lives
