It is not completely irrelevant. It is simply indirectly relevant. The reason people are keen to deny Reddit ad revenue is because the API issue pissed a lot of people off.
Ad blocking alone wouldn't prevent sponsored posts from showing up, and sponsored posts are also ads.
Stop insulting people before you understand things completely. If you cannot understand other people and just think everyone is an idiot, you might want to get yourself screened for autism. And that's not an insult, it's a suggestion.
Ah yes, keep insulting me. That truly shows you know what you're talking about. Yep you've convinced me. Good luck with your future interactions with the rest of society. I'm fairly certain that more people think poorly of you than think highly of you.
I'm glad you glossed over sponsored posts and ignored the fine details of my argument, but that's about what I'd expect from someone with your irrational combative nature. It's a pity. You could be so much more than that. Best of luck to you, sincerely. I'll hope reason can dispel this anger in you some day. I clearly don't know the words at present to allow you to understand my perspective, and I apologize for that deficiency.
We all are. Or do you consider yourself a paragon of humanity despite not knowing the definitions of words? Still no comment on sponsored posts with regards to advertisements. And for what it's worth, I do use an ad blocker, but all ad blockers don't function the same way, which is another subtle detail I am unsure you are capable of grasping. But that's ok, it's not inherently bad that you are ignorant, it's simply a state of reality. It doesn't negatively impact my life in any meaningful way.
The important thing is that you are happy.
Thank you for proving my point. Your contributions to science will not be forgotten.
I have follow-up questions. How many people were you successful at convincing of something while calling them names?
I already see that you are an embellishing liar, because you said only I am an idiot, but your post history shows otherwise.
Do you find your conversation skills particularly effective? Do you think there's anything you can do to improve them?
I already use one... Oh, do you not speak English? Or have some condition that affects reading comprehension? You might need to reread this entire thread more carefully. You haven't answered a single question that I asked. Are you being intentionally obtuse? Aren't you the one who accused me of "red-herring" and other nonsense?
