I remember there was a bug (or intended behavior?) of people getting their accounts banned for certain kinds of mundane chat messages in live streams and I’m a little spooked that the same will happen with the recent escalation in the adblocking arms race.
The passive-aggressive "I’m just a smol bean multinational media conglomerate and you’ve blocked ads on my page " messages that sometimes make it through my adblocker certainly feel like a precursor to more punitive action.
Sometimes I get those pop ups when I’m reading news from outlets with millionaire pundits like CNN or NBC, and I always gleefully click on “I’ll disable my adbloxker next time”
