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?

    I more or less agree with the sentiment, which is why I disable my adblock on sites I use regularly, with 3 exceptions:

    1. If the ads are egregious, adblock stays on. Half- page content blocking ads stay blocked. Auto playing noisy video ads stay blocked. You get the idea.
    2. If they have tracking JavaScript that isn’t blocked by regular built browser built in blocking stuff then my ad block stays on. They can have my data or they can throw ads at me. Not both.
    3. Any site that I am paying for the ad block stays on. If I’m paying for your service, you don’t get to advertise at me and you don’t get to throw a bunch of tracking crap at me.
