I love when they give you instructions on how to disable it. Lol, fuck you, website.

or if they try to guilt-trip you into disabling the ad blocker with a frowny face or something.

Every time you block an ad, a puppy gets hit by a truck. Is that really what you want?

And the instructions are always wrong… I’m not using AdBlock Plus, and they forget to include how to disable the PiHole 😂

Trust is broken. Ads have been abused where I have to block by default unless I already trust your website.

I’m not risking malware for some strangers advertisements.

Yeah, I agree. I never really minded ads as I just mentally ignore them so I didn’t use an ad blocker for a very long time after it was common practice. I also disagreed with the principle of ad blockers as sites need to pay their expenses.

But then they abused the data that they collected to change people’s political opinions in a way that went way beyond just your standard political ads and that was it for me.
