i don't need to justify my actions. I know adblocking is denying revenue to the platform. i don't care.
The "just buy premium" crowd is assuming that people are rich enough to afford premium. May be they should consider how priviledged they are for having the spare money to dump on premium.

- matheusmoreira 3y agoEven if you're rich, you're not obligated to see ads. Our attention belongs to us. It's part of our inalienable cognitive functions. They're not entitled to it.
- recursive 3y agoThat doesn't imply anything about youtube's ads. The way you exercise control over your attention is by closing the tab/app in this case.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoThe way I excercise control is by blocking that ad, unconditionally, with extreme prejudice, no due process and no survivors.
- recursive 3y agoThat's fine, and quite reasonable, as long as it works. Google has no obligation to maintain that state of affairs. I agree that Google isn't entitled to your attention. My point is that, just because they're clamping down on ad-blockers, doesn't mean they think they're entitled to your attention.
- matheusmoreira 3y agoThey can try all they want. We'll also resist all we want too. I'm just tired of the endless "freeloader" shaming posts.
