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?
At this point, the internet is so goddamn unusable without an adblocker that I don’t know why anyone would try.
At work, I’ll occasionally start talking to someone about some fandom like Star Wars or Pathfinder or whatever. I’ll go to the wikia or fandom page for them and suddenly I get a million popups and half the page is covered in ads. It’s actually so bad that my work’s filter will occasionally block a site because they’ll say that the ads are too bad.
The only time I see ads now is when I watch YouTube or Hulu on my TV, but even then I try to cast from my desktop (though Hulu ads seem to break through). I understand the idea of supporting creators, but for most YouTubers, their money comes from the sponsorships, not from me watching an ad.
