i know this is extremely unlikely to happen, but imagine if both mozilla and google decides to remove adblock extensions in every way, if that happens, would you still pirate?
Some people might say about *arr aplications, but imo that wouldnt work, simply because without adblocks, the trackers would do something to stop it.
i have no idea what connection you think there is between piracy and adblockers. if anything, wouldn’t killing all adblockers encourage more piracy, not less?
For people who pirate because they can’t afford the increasingly more expensive games, how does the removal of adblocks change anything?
I think they’re talking about ads on download pages making it more difficult to click the correct download button when pirating
lol, what? Ad Blocking doesn’t protect you from being discovered committing piracy, VPN’s do
It would just bring back street crime and physical boosting and robbery. Same thing for blocking porn… all the creepy 70/80/90s shit would come back…
I really hate ads, too. But I don’t think I would be turning to street crime because of them.
Idk I guess I mean like boosted vendors. In 90s and early 00 I used to go to expos or even certain street vendors and they would have boosted or ripped movies and software.
And in terms of porn I mean sex spots scattered around cities and towns.
Blocking ads its not piracy.
I think it’s a qoute from some sitcome, I don’t remember where I heard it. But it’s “Not watching the ads is like stealing TV!”. And it’s about just changing the channel during an ad break. It’s clearly a joke, too. But maybe some people actually believe that.
