Same if they say to disable your ad blocker.

Trust is broken. Ads have been abused where I have to block by default unless I already trust your website.

I'm not risking malware for some strangers advertisements.

Yeah, I agree. I never really minded ads as I just mentally ignore them so I didn’t use an ad blocker for a very long time after it was common practice. I also disagreed with the principle of ad blockers as sites need to pay their expenses.

But then they abused the data that they collected to change people’s political opinions in a way that went way beyond just your standard political ads and that was it for me.

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
