Nobody said a thing about acting to rob anybody of anything. If you're trying to reopen the ad-blocking debate, I'm not really interested in that. I'm saying and I believe the grandparent is saying, sites with those features are to varying degrees less-good, precisely because of those features. Since I'm under no obligation to funnel myself into that site, I'll tend to ignore it, and I'm more likely to ignore it the less value it actually offers. (And the net value it offers, does decrease because of ads and adtech tactics.) In my case I'm also saying, commerce itself is basically boring; I can find it anywhere. I believe your use of the word "rob" is inappropriate since you can't be robbed of something you don't own. (My attention, the content of my web browser, etc.)
