> To me, being anti-ads is being anti-poor, plain and simple. That's silly. > The advertising model makes the rich subsidize services for the poor, [Citation needed]. > On that note, I'm somewhat annoyed that we're culturally ok with people who use online services and block ads, and yet we're not ok with people who ride on public transit Actually I know exactly zero people who are not ok with either. The only reason I pay for public transport is that I'm afraid of being caught, but just like the correct amount of ads is zero, the correct public transport fare is also zero. > a very similar business model. Public transport is not a business, and it's not my concern that your business model sucks.
