Sounds like a good statatement to print on t-shirts.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoAds Are For Suckers reads more succinctly. (And no offense to OP.)
- nogridbag 3y agoNo offense taken. Unlike my childhood where I used to navigate via webrings and questionable search engines, these days I rarely visit anything but HN links. So I haven't had much of a need for an ad blocker. Occasionally I'm surprised links like these get to the front page, even with all the ads and horrible UX. I must admit, I too wanted to believe so badly we can communicate with whales, that I managed to scroll down to see the first paragraph below the fold. But quickly closed it shortly after to read the HN comments.
- JKCalhoun 3y agoYeah, it is too bad this crap is the new normal for web sites. It saddens me that Gen Y (or what have you) never knew an internet before it became a marketing landscape.
- neilv 3y agoRelated: there's a snazzy uBlock Origin logo T-shirt for sale online, but I won't link it right now, because unclear whether it's approved by Raymond Hill, and I don't see a mention of what the proceeds support.
- freedomben 3y agomy guess based on his strong (and extremely venerable) principles against monetizing uBO is that it's not approved by him, although I think him selling merch would be an awesome way to fund development. I would gladly buy some uMatrix t-shirts if it meant a resumption of uMatrix dev! :-D
