My computer, my freedom!
I can do whatever I want.
So can the web server youre trying to access lol
the web server? absolutely!
the arbitrary code they send to my browser? I must be able to choose what to execute in my device.
and people wonder why everything is entirely moving to subscriptions.
You are able to choose because they let you. You don't think they know that? They own their own browser for god sakes. They could turn every adblock ineffective and not care for mouth breathers like you claiming victory by using applications and adblock lists someone else make, who would shit themselves if they stopped being maintained for a few days.
Don't make yourself feel like you beat the Big Tech. It's anything but…
Enjoy yourself feeling like a h4x0r though.
Do you think it’s the fault of people with ad-blockers that everything is transitioning to subscription services? Or do you think maybe it has something to do with the exponentially larger profit to be made with the subscription model?
It really looks like you’re just angry at this one person, and you kinda shaped your argument to be the meanest thing possible for them. But it left you looking like a shill for google who can’t decide which fight they wanna have.
