    You block ads because of privacy.

    I block ads to cause the greatest amount of financial damage, purely out of spite.

    We are not the same.

        Yeah that’s my whole thing with ads, I understand monetization is necessary but it’s gotten so far out of fucking hand

          I agree. Small, non-intrusive banner ads with an easy close button are fine. They get the message across without getting in anyone’s way.

          The problem is the ads that stop you from doing anything for the best part of a minute. I don’t see how anyone has ever been convinced to buy whatever product is being advertised by these, but somehow, they’re the ones that are everywhere.
