Here's a counter argument; just because you can throw clickbait articles up onto a website doesn't give you the right to rape my personal details for your personal profit.
Quite simply, produce something of value and you won't have a problem financing it. The worlds smallest violin plays for those websites producing garbage to feed the never ending stream of garbage that comes through the data pipe that I pay for. No one owes you anything.

But that's Mozilla's argument: block tracking, not ads. Google Analytics and other services are not ads, but still track. Project Wonderful, on the other hand, has ads but doesn't track. Shouldn't we block the former, and not latter? By the way, have I pointed out that I make absolutely no money on ads? I work for a B2B startup that charges for its services. No ads at all.
- MacsHeadroom 11y agoThat's literally Mozilla's argument. Mozilla is for blocking tracking, not again using advertisement to monetize content/services.
