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?

    Probably close to 20 years ago at this point, when visiting the official forums for a game I loved, my computer was infected by malware delivered by a malicious ad. This was not some seedy part of the internet, but a website hosted by a major game publisher whose product I enjoyed.

    Going to guess it was Blizzard? I remember a huge fiasco about that. If you visited their forums you were at risk of getting infected for about half a day.

      Bethesda. I was (am?) really into Elder Scrolls modding, and the forums were the place to organize.
