In before the "do you also steal from restaurants?"-clowns join the discussion. lmao
They're simply the funniest
And yes it's the most common "retort" to ad-blocking I always hear.
- bee_rider 3y agoI think there will be almost no posters here to defend ads, which is really something, given that this is a tech site and a whole lot of the sector is ad-driven. Hopefully this indicates that there will be room for something better soon. Or maybe it just indicates that the ad guys have so throughly beat us that they don’t even feel the need to come argue anymore.
