If we collectively boycotted the sites that allow such garbage then they would serve less obtrusive ads.
To consume the content without even considering ads makes it unethical.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoNothing at all unethical about it. We're not obligated to spend even one second looking at ads. They sent us free stuff hoping we were going to notice the ads they bundled alongside it. We're not obligated to do that though. It's that simple.
- paulryanrogers 3y agoYou're not ethical for consuming while also automatically bypassing even the possibility of an ad impression. It's the impression that pays for the content. No impressions. No content.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoGuess the content just isn't gonna be paid for then. Not my responsibility to make their silly business model work. My attention belongs to me. I decide what I pay attention to. They aren't entitled to it. Sending me free stuff doesn't entitle them to literally anything.
