Is anyone here actually browsing the internet without ad-blockers? As soon as I accidentally turn them off I am disgusted by the consumerist, snake-oil, sexist, shit-storm that's advertisement. | ||

Technically I run a tracking blocker, it just happens to block 90+% of all ads because they want to track me. I don't understand why ads aren't targeted towards the content of the page, rather than me as a person, that seems to be more correct in the majority of the cases. I did accidentally try to play a YouTube video without signing into my premium account. That platforms is completely impossible to watch without premium or an ad blocker. YouTube managers should be forced to watch a few hours of content with ads enabled. | ||

The average viewer probably doesn't know ad blockers exist. | ||

I run adblock, but it's been not very effective lately. Sites either work around it, or just outright refuse to work. | ||
