Just because you don't like the argument doesn't mean it's "tired." It's absolutely true. I block every ad, I will continue to do so, and should content go behind a paywall, I will simply not view it. If there are enough people like me, content providers will be forced to adapt their strategies. That's the way it is.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoLet me join in with a Hell Yeah. I'm exactly the same mindset; folks who imagine they can dictate my web viewing habits, are just going to lose a segment of the viewership outright. No amount of self-serving rationalization ("You owe it to us to watch our ads!") is going to change my habits one iota.

For the most part the large companies will remain so because there will likely always be "enough" money in advertising to keep Google and Facebook going. But you aren't something anyone in any industry is concerned about. You are a leech and no strategy is going to change the fact that you are a leech. You feel that all your content should come without cost and any means to monetize content you will either outright block or ignore the content entirely. That's the way it is.
