Who doesn't use an adblocker and why? (lemmy.world)

Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn't use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

Or, I do whatever I want. Since that is an option.

Sure. You can. But it comes with the risk that the content you're consuming will go away.

Nobody is obliged to create things for you for free.

Never said anyone is "obliged". Content will go away anyway eventually, or more often I will go away before the end.

To say it all: usually I find content interesting as long as the creator is doing it out of passion. There is a very clear difference the moment he/she realizes it is possible to get money out of it: and that's when I usually find another creator.

I don't understand how someone can have a take this cartoonishly ridiculous in 2024. Are you effin serious me boy? I mean dude.

Maybe you're just book smart. I... Whew! I don't like to ad hominem but goddamn

It's interesting how your post has a complete lack of actual content or arguments.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

It’s interesting

It is?
