> it's better to respect the wishes of the adblocking user than alienate them from their service I have a theory that this is like a pressure valve for power users who would not tolerate being forced to view ads. The majority doesn't care, doesn't understand the technicalities, doesn't know what would be possible and how. But there is a sizable portion of people who are stubborn enough that they know the background and won't put up with locked down platforms. It's better to let them have it their way rather than causing much alienation and outrage among the techie types / power users / early adopters / hackers / tinkerers.
