  • Yes, I use adblock. Most sites I visit didn’t have ads on them 15 years ago. I don’t want to see the ads now. As others have said, they are way too scammy and intrusive.

    But your second point about not caring about the creator, i always thibk about this. YouTube. They will do two 15 second unskippable ads for a 5 second video… and then the creator of that video DOES NOT SEE A CENT FROM THE ADVERTISERS OR YOUTUBE! Why? Because its not monetizable, thats why! Why would I waste my time over that kind of crap? Or, worse yet, if I wanted to watch another advertisement on YouTube, I have to watch an ad to watch an ad? Why does that make sense? It’s not the consumers that don’t watch ads that don’t care about the creators. It’s a platform that monetizes its users and then doesn’t pay them for it.

    Which don’t get me started on Reddit…
