the internet, as usual, hosed everything up

your brain is broken

likely an acute case of the ads

^ easylist had to drop a domain because of a DMCA request.

Inevitable result is that someone now made a blocklist that exclusively contains domains that got removed through DMCAs: https://github.com/paulgb/BarbBlock

the question is, are you ready for a world where the ad and content are indistinguishable from each other?

hm yes surely the corporations only input the bare minimum of ads and this isn't already the case

ads rule when they are relevant and suited for your needs.

if big data sama shows goons a 20% discount on mountain dew and cheeto combo b cause it knows you are most likely to buy them based on signals data with delivery, I'm pretty sure you all h bhapoy to buy.

ads rule, FB, googl and pretty much the world of consumer is based on advertising

ad blockers are not going to change a loving thing

no ad has ever suited my needs because my needs do not include ads
