    So am I wrong in assuming that the guy who wrote this article, is also the same person who posted the article here? Because they are both named Corbin.

        Cool. The top comment is particularly brutal in its opinion on your work, care to respond?

          Already did! I don’t think it was brutal, just asking technical questions.

    I kinda agree, the whole adblocking space has felt very circle-jerky lately. Tech news writers are just cashing in on the hype with low quality articles. That said, even if google is not technically locking down adblockers, this does tend to be the first step towards killing such a thing. Its kinda the unspoken implication of the whole conversation

    Also, considering you are criticizing clickbait-y tech articles, you should probably stay away from clickbait.
