I'd say they have that right to circumvent your blocker. And you have the right to circumvent that. Ad infinitum.

- shiroiuma 3y agoI agree: they have the right to try to detect on their end that I'm not watching the ads, and then refuse to send me more videos. And I have the right to try to evade this detection with software on my end. They don't have the right to use the legal system to force me to watch ads on my equipment (for instance, by banning ad-blockers).
- squigz 3y agoShould a company have the right to constantly harass you IRL with ads, even after you take actions to avoid seeing those ads?
- berkes 3y agoI think your description is unfair. Yes, I think that, say, Mc Donalds has all the rights to bombard me with ads when I enter their "restaurant". Even ads for, say, cars, if they get some deal with a car-factory. So, yes, I think a company has the right to bombard me with ads when I visit their premises, even if I've taken actions to avoid seeing those ads. If I don't want that, I'm free to not enter their premises (i.e. visit their websites)
