What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway? (kbin.melroy.org)

When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

These answers reek of superiority complex. These are less "educating" others and more that so many of you have decided something specific is a big deal to you and in a proselytizing fashion you preach to others and when they don't give a shit or perhaps just dont have the emotional capacity to ALSO care about the thing you brought up, you take that as ignorance, when really it's just some people don't feel like caring that much about that specific concern you decided is uber important.

People aren't built to endless worry about every little horrible problem surrounding them and the world every fucking day.

Also, this whole forum feels like overreaction too. Just because "some" people didn't care for your input doesn't mean all didn't, but a lot of people overreact online. It's coupled with the usual "am I the only one who..." kind of crap. No. You aren't. You aren't the only genius who understands the world is shit and we're fucked.
