Or I can run an ad blocker and they can go fuck themselves.

  Sure, and thanks for contributing to the decline of the free web.

    Ads are the decline of the free web.
    • naasking 7y ago
      Yeah, no. The ad model driven by broken financial incentives and broken browsers that leak privacy everywhere is what broke the web. Fixing those incentives and fixing the browser fixes the actual problem. Free content still costs money to host. If I can't write about cool programming or science projects for free, like having my hosting paid by ads, I very likely won't write it at all, and the web would be all the poorer for it if everyone in similar shoes reaches the same logical conclusion.

    No. Ads have destroyed the web. I have no desire to support this broken system.

  i m sure publishers will not appreciate that attitude and will block your ad blocker. some publishers may redirect those users to brave.

    Then I don’t care about their content.
    • buboard 7y ago
      if one hits a paywall, they must necessarily have cared about their content

        My care meter goes instantly to zero. It's capable of being adjusted.
