Totally. I’ll get by fine without ChatGPT, and I guarantee I can go without whatever crappy products the ad network you shill for partner with. In the meantime I’ll keep blocking evey ad I can.
In fact I’d be better off. It’s interesting that the most ad laden products are often the worst for you: YouTube, social media. Whereas the good uses of time: books, art, are ad free.
I'm a shill, not of any ad network, but of the idea of respecting contracts and law, even those we don't read and click on an "I agree" box.
Consider that stallman didn't encourage followers to pirate microsoft, he encouraged boycotting and made his own alternative software and contracts.
Sounds like a better way to go about it no? Why would you want to be a part of a club that doesn't want you as a member, and to the extent it does, it develops unmarked unskippable ads mixed with content so as to keep monetizing from adblocking users.
So yeah, I'm anti adblock but not pro ads, I don't do freemium or ads myself when selling, i do use free dependencies but donor based . I guess I'd be lawful neutral?who would have thunk there's more than 2 alignments!
