Do you use adblock? Why? Why not? (lemmy.world)

I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

  • between malware, phishing, tracking, bloat, bandwidth hogging, and whatnot, an adblocker is as necessary as an antivirus โ€“ advertisers have had multiple opportunities over the decades to behave and consistently refuse to do so
  • most of us are perfectly willing to pay content creators directly (subscription, coffee, Patreon, merch, etc.)
  • publishers are not content creators โ€“ and publishers are perfectly happy to screw creators over just as much as they screw visitors/viewers/readers (as an example, WGA strike is already on day 51 and counting)
