But then you wouldn't need to click on thir Ad infested shite website where 1-2 paragraphs worth of actual information is stretched into a giant essay so that they can show you more Ads the longer you scroll

I will never understand how ppl survive without ad blockers. Tried it once recently and it was a horrific experience.

I'm thankful for such people's sacrifice, if it wasn't for them there would be even more anti ad block measures in place

Same way you survive live TV. You learn to mentally block out ads.

Not anymore, of course. But nothing beats that brain rot apart from sites that hijack your controls.
