Ads pay for the internet.

- paulryanrogers 3y agoAds pay for the other end of the web, the part most folks are looking for, yet dont want to micro-pay every site they land on.
- e2le 3y agoMy CPU is not free real estate for any site to abuse as they see fit.
- stathibus 3y agoNothing to do with ads but thanks for playing
- brucethemoose2 3y ago99% of what goes through my browser is either SEO trash, social media attention baiting, a straight up scam, paywalled, or something ethically questionable from Big Tech. AP News served me malware in an ad. I whitelist good reporting and cool/niche sites, but things worth whitelisting are increasingly rare. Whatever discomfort I felt using an adblocker before is long gone.
