Oh, just wait until the hordes come out of the woodwork to poo-poo you for blocking ads and such. They have their reasons, like "No Ads means no free content",

Oh, just wait until the hordes come out of the woodwork to poo-poo you for blocking ads and such.
They have their reasons, like "No Ads means no free content", or "You're taking the money out of content creators mouths", or variations on a theme.
What's doubly silly, is I control how my computer renders what content, downloads what content, and does whatever actions I want. Once it leaves your computer/network, its no longer up to you, ad company.
(Is now waiting for Wildvine to be used on content, forcing such ad viewage, now that DRM is part of the bloody HTML5 spec.)
- hsod 9y agoSeems inevitable. Unfortunately, the content companies have a lot of leverage because they are the ones making the content that you want to see.
- bobbinsbob 9y agoThat's the thing though. If those ads are forced on you say like in-game ads you can't skip then I'll just do what I do with them. Something else. Volume down, attention elsewhere until it's over. Just like those old unskippable YouTube ads. I might not be able to skip them but they don't get any of my attention either way.
