I'm not in a position nor pay grade to subsidize someone else's income with my time or attention
I try to find freely contributed materials when I can; for instance, I try to watch non-monetized YouTube channels and visit sites that are freely made and shared, but I'm not so high on my horse that I'm above clicking a link to a news article on a site like this one and using an ad blocker
If you have so little attention to spare that an ad along side or even within content is too far for you how did you find the time to comment?
Good on you for looking for free options. On the other hand that furthers the question about how much attention would really cost you...
I enjoy commenting. I don't enjoy ads.
Yeah, like YouTube for instance -- that was the cool part: It was free.
I imagine that is up to each person. Fortunately, no one is mandating that you use an adblocker, so you are free to do as you please. Far be it from me to condescend to you for something so inconsequential to me.
I've donated to keep this server running because I'm willing to do so. If the admin asked me to watch ads instead, I'd decline.
