I go to a site. That site hands me over to a completely different network. My target site's owner has no idea what's running on that other network.
My target site exposed me to danger.
No thank you.

- Menge 11y agoI'd agree if you are saying that's no coincidence? The profit from the ads on the target site are the fuel to push its content to the top of results over better or more relevant content with less financial motivation or efficiency. In other words, blocking ads on a large scale causes a readjustment that is not necessarily bad for the overall ecosystem since most of that money is actively winning a zero sum game against better content with less (desperate) backing.
