I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    Yes. I have a whole house dns adlock AND iuse a browser adblock as well.

    Too many websites are COMPLETE SHIT TO NAVIGATE without adblock. They will be slow to load because of all the ad servers loading in. They fill so much of their space with ads that the main Co tent you’re there to see is obfuscated. They break content up with ads, so you’re forced to scroll past them.

    I have never understood why we legally allow advertising at all. Why should we let companies harass literally anyone with advertisements? I know literally nobody who likes seeing ads on any kind of content. It’s an incredibly annoying thing we have normalized, and it needs to get cut back.

        I always love going onto a completely innocuous and SFW site and getting five popups of porn shoved in my face. I love when I’m in public and that happens. /s

        Some are malware unbeknownst to the ad delivery service, which gives even more reason to use an ad blocker.
