>The fact that you made up a reason for your actions only shows that deep down, you know what you're doing is not right. Your mind just makes up justifications for it. So it's absolutely impossible for anyone's morality to ever differ from yours, and if they claim it does, they're just lying to themselves?

I don't make up justifications for my actions. He said he blocks ads because he doesn't know if a link will lead to a page littered with ads, but that's not the case at all. He uses services which he obviously knows rely on ads to keep running, yet breaks their business model You guys use a business and refuse to abide to its terms of service. In what school of thought that is acceptable? In my country, you buy bus passes on the bus stop and you perforate it yourself when you get on the bus to signal that you've paid for your ride. You want to tell me I can get a free ride on the bus because it is not my job to make the bus company profitable. Are you serious?

It's absolutely the case. I held off installing an ad-blocker for a long time, longer than most of my friends. If ads had not become more intrusive I would not have started blocking them. Sure, I'm getting other benefits, but not knowing if a link will lead to a page littered with ads is absolutely the cause of my blocking them; if that wasn't the case I wouldn't do it. > In my country, you buy bus passes on the bus stop and you perforate it yourself when you get on the bus to signal that you've paid for your ride.
