Ad-blocking on the internet is kind of like recycling. Sure, it doesn't matter if you do it, but if everyone did it we'd all be fucked.

- omni 13y agoDo you mean kind of like the inverse of recycling, or does recycling have some dark secret that I'm blissfully unaware of?
- nikatwork 13y agoThere is some conspiracy theory that recycling is actually a lie and is somehow more environmentally harmful than regular garbage. This is based on... well I don't know who comes up with this crazy shit really. Or there's (some) Libertarians who think recycling is anti-free-market. Rand must've hated separating her trash or something.
- cwp 13y agoWell, the Internet would certainly be a very different place if everybody blocked ads. It's hard to predict who would benefit and who would suffer, but "we'd all be fucked" doesn't seem like a likely scenario.
