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?

Recently tried a couple sites without an Adblock and it felt like the "good old days" of constant pop ups and garbage loading in the background while trying to read an article. The best are those autoplaying videos that don't start muted.

So with that said, yeah, I think I'm gonna keep that Adblock on!

    Yeah, the raw web is an awful wasteland of ads - unregulated shit sites happily bog down anything they possibly can. Even "non-spam" sites are inundated with irrelevant distractions at best, and maleficence at worst.

    Anyone who says they don't use ad blocker is either lying, they don't know how, or they don't know how much better the web could be without it.

    Content creators that rely on ads, need to find a better way.
