Lol, not bending over and letting whoever the fuck run whatever the fuck programs on my computer is an "implementation detail".

> You should just accept that you are being greedy and you will block ads because you don't care if creators make money from ads and want to prioritize having an ad free experience.

This is so, so obviously wrong it's actually frustrating I have to reply to this level of rhetoric.

Once again, I am not your accountant. It is not my responsibility to make sure your business model makes sense.

I don't have the time to babysit and hand hold every corporation in my life and make sure their business model makes sense. I just don't, and it's not my responsibility.

If your business model relies solely on me allowing you to run potential malware on my computer, then that is YOUR problem. Not mine. Figure it out, or don't. Youre always allowed to go bankrupt. Not every business model is viable.

You are not entitled to a viable business model. You are not God. If your business model doesn't work, then you lose. Too bad, so sad, not my fucking problem.

And on the topic of money: running ads on my computer is a computer system security problem.

The FBI recommends running an aggressive ad blocker. The reality is most ads are basically malware and often literally malware. They can be phishing, linking to malicious sites. They can be deceptive. They can be spyware, collecting information about my computer, identity, or web browsing activity.

Google, Meta, et. all have demonstrated they simply do not take adequate steps to prevent malicious advertisement payloads.

You do not have a god-given right to run software on my computer, but you CERTAINLY don't have a god-given right to run malware on my computer.

If you disagree, take it up with the FBI, I don't care.
