Blocking ads being about privacy always seemed like hypocrisy and extensions like these only prove it.
Of course, the ads revenue model for the Internet only happened because people basically want free labor, being unwilling to pay for the content they consume, screw the publishers the world will survive.
It's sad because what we'll get is legislature and/or more DRM.
- icebraining 8y agoThis extension proves nothing; it's perfectly sensible that someone worried about the privacy of their reading doesn't want to make it worse by tying a payment ID to their profile. Subscriptions are in that sense worse than ads.
- bad_user 8y agoHaha, yes, exactly my point. And this makes me think that the existence of DRM is justified.
