Side note: Does anybody have an effective way of blocking this stupid Admiral BS, I’ve gotten it to a point where it consistently gives me the bypass option but I’d prefer it to go away entirely
If it’s a site I use regularly, I’ll disable ad blocker, especially news. It’d be childish demand people provide me their time, labour and effort for free, especially when the ads cost me nothing.
I don’t demand anything, but I’m not responsible for making sure anyone else makes money. Sell it, give it away, or don’t. Don’t beg me to allow third parties to infect my devices just because they paid you to ask me.
How do you expect the websites you use to exist if everyone ad blocks them?
Lot’s of websites exist. How did they do it before invasive ads and tracking?
I demand control over my computing on my hardware. After I casually request media do not feel entitled to run anti-features without my permission.
I do think that hard effort to create works should be rewarded but I do believe ads have a cost - and it’s too damn high.
How do you reward the work you encounter online?
I buy merchandise from video creators, do non-annual donations (1 is annual) and assume commission for affiliate links can happen in the background when I buy stuff.
I admit I mostly give back to bigger players (e.g. my OS creator), and less so to those who are just starting off that don’t see as much.
