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?

    This is the pcgamer website without adblock!

    I discovered this this morning as I was trying out a Lemmy app (thunder) instead of my ad blocked Firefox and followed an article link.

    In less than 800 words there were:

    • 3 full page ads to dismiss
    • an auto playing video taking up 1/4 of the screen that follows as you scroll
    • a sticky animated footer banner
    • and a half page animated ad between each paragraph.

    Fuck that. Fuck any organizational that does that to it’s product or has that level of contempt for it’s users.

    I support content creators but ad block is necessary for safety, privacy, and the overall usability of the Internet.
