The only mistake Billy made is giving anything to AdBlock Plus, the people who have sided WITH the ads, instead of uBlock Origin, the true MVPs of the ad blocking world. I guess uBlock doesn't accept donations unfortunately, but still, ABP is shady and I would not support them.

Some of the block list maintainer do accept donations, if I recall.

I did a quick search and they don't make it easy. Peter Lowe's ad and tracking server blocklist is the only one I found. EasyList doesn't seem to have a donation link, nor Dan Pollock at someonewhocares.org. Also worth noting that UBO doesn't take donations. You could always subscribe to AdGuard, but that's mixed.

Ad block is NOT piracy. And use Ublock Origin.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 1 year ago

uBlock Origin is also not piracy, but it is the real way to block

Technically we are just keeping the waters clean of unusable, useless garbage. The ad corps are invading our waters.

I prefer unlock origin but he got the spirit

[-] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if your going to support something support the open source project that doesnt advertise

[-] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago

If you buy premium, do it to support the creators you watch, fuck doing it just for no ads.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

If you buy premium your doing both.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, but if I was only doing it for no ads, I'd rather just use ad block. Instead, I'm doing to to support the creators I watch in the laziest way possible, because I'm letting Google do all the work to spread the money out.

ADP betrayed us, ublock origin is better

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

Abp is complete garbage. Use Ublock origin.

Should support uBlock Origin and AdGuard, the maintainers of EasyList too

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

uBO doesn't accept donations and AdGuard is a commercial entity that was more than enough money.
