I use ad-blockers and PiHole. I sometimes cannot access sites due to PiHole and I don't care. I had to cancel a digital subscription because of PiHole I could not stream videos. I would get a message that "Ad blocking was detected on my network", I could whitelist it but nope.
I hate ad tracking and if I cannot access a service then too bad.

- ASalazarMX 5y agoAnother inch? Joke apart, advertisers lost the benefit of the doubt long ago. They have shown unethical behavior, and they're bad stewards of the information they collect surreptitiously. The internet would be a better place without the overbearing influence of the modern advertising industry.
- kgwxd 5y agoAMC recently added that with their new streaming service. They deprecated "AMC Premium" and forced everyone to "AMC+". I was prepared to pay the much higher price for AMC+ which, presumable wouldn't have ads, but it refuses to work with uBlock Origin enabled anyway. So I cancelled and went back to torrenting. Smart move AMC.
- mrweasel 5y agoThe "ad blocker detected" is annoying, mostly because I don't have an ad blocker installed. I do have a tracking blocker, which just happens to blocks some ads, due to them tracking me. Just stop the tracking and you won't get blocked.
