I don't think that's completely fair. The people who are providing the content on a lot of web pages are not the same people who are responsible for the monetization scheme. Some sites have good/decent content, but really obtrusive advertisements that the authors aren't responsible for.
- debacle 13y agoThe people providing the content are still being supported by the monetization scheme - you're taking money from them when you use their content without viewing their ads.
- mike-cardwell 13y agoNo. Those people are exposing us to mass cross-site tracking before we even get to see their content, without our permission, and without most people even knowing it's happening.
- diminoten 13y agoVisiting a site is giving that site permission to run whatever it wants in your browser/on your computer. The only winning move is to not visit a site.
- ris 13y ago"Visiting a site is giving that site permission to run whatever it wants in your browser/on your computer." No, it really isn't.
- diminoten 13y agoWay to add to the discussion.
- codygman 13y agoIIRC running a program meant to delete the users computer on your website would likely get you in a bit of trouble.
- mike-cardwell 13y ago"Visiting a site is giving that site permission to run whatever it wants in your browser/on your computer." Unless you configure your browser otherwise. Which is what I'm recommending people do.

- diminoten 13y agoSo what? 99 times out of 100, the people monetizing the site are also the ones who pay the bills. You aren't entitled to content just because it's good.
- throwaway2048 13y agoand you arnt entitled to my personal information and browsing history just because i clicked a link.
- diminoten 13y ago...yes, I am?
