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 use an tracker blocker, because the way advertising is done today by google and similar is immoral, and its shocking that it is not illegal.

    The way ads are put on duckduckgo, based on your search terms, or the way companies sponsor creators is great, that’s the way advertising should be, and I want to support that.

    But if you are going to be a creepy company (Google, Meta, …) who wants to unconsensually track and profile me when my browser explicitly includes do not track requests, in order to manipulate my beliefs and purchasing habitats. As somebody who is aware of the problem, not using a tracker blocker like privacy badger would be wrong and immoral, because by allowing them to make money though abusing me, i would be supporting and aiding them in the evil they engage in.

    Use a tracker blocker, don’t help google be evil, and don’t support anyone who demonizes you for refusing to support modern evil for their personal gain.
