Do I have this straight: I’m supposed to feel be ashamed for not downloading trackers that spy on me and ads I never read or click on.

@stilkov simplified it a little too much? ;)

@klimpong Simplified? Globally, maybe. Not for me personally, though.

@stilkov so yeah, I think you simplified it heavily. People rely on monetisation. There’s also nothing wrong with that.

@klimpong Of course there isn’t. But it’s naïve to expect people won’t avoid ads if they can, and there is nothing unethical about it.

@stilkov I think the system could be better, but I am still not a fan of cheating because it’s possible.

Replying to @klimpong
@klimpong I thoroughly object to calling this ”cheating”. I never signed any contract, and don’t break any any laws, when filtering ads.

@stilkov I called it intentionally cheating vs breaking the law. You enter contracts. E.g. when you take a bus.

@stilkov but that's beside the point. IMO it's also okay to prevent people from using a website when they use an ad-blocker.

@stilkov in the end, I wish ad networks would adhere to web standards to enhance ad serving vs making it a horrible experience for users.
