> Some of us just don't want to click or _see_ ads Get off the internet and stop leeching content. If you're not paying for it, you get to see ads. Having said that, I run a PiHole and uMatrix. I'll stop when; - Tracking behaviour improves. I don't need to be fingerprinted across domains. Track me through your own site by all means, but no further. - 3rd party networks become responsible for the content they serve. If your network serves up malware or a cryptocurrency generator script, you get penalised heavily or just dropped entirely. - General behaviour improves. This hair-swiping trick, pop-unders, auto-playing videos, in-text mouseovers, active-content popups demanding email addresses, tiny X's that are impossible to click without activating the ad content... No. That stops. - Forbes. Making your entire site rely on scripts from third parties to require enabling a slew of random site's JS is not the answer. Making your ads less obnoxious is.

That's why I wrote I am not that exposed anymore as I pay for what I see and don't visit that many websites. The few I visit a lot I still use ublock origin but donate or have a subscription or something like that (patreon for some). Bottom line is, I would much rather pay than view the damn ads and be tracked. I could probably tolerate a few ads on a page if they didn't break your commandments above, but we all know it won't happen, especially the 1st and 3rd ones.

>Get off the internet and stop leeching content. If you're not paying for it, you get to see ads. Ad-blocking isn't "leeching" content. Users have always had the ability and the right to filter web responses, it's not like television where the broadcast is one signal and the viewer has to take it or leave it, that's not how the web was ever intended to work. If sites send content along with advertising, then they have to accept that their advertising can be filtered out at will, and their content read for free.
