    This technically makes this an ad for adblockers. Which, by enabling an adblocker, will disable said ad.

      Make it infinitely more obnoxious, 90’s era blinky text, gifs, auto play music… “You wouldn’t be seeing or hearing any of this bullshit if you ran an ad blocker”

    Hot take: I don’t want / need more people to use adblock.

    Right now it is in a good position where the numbers just are not that high for advertisers to really give a hoot. Yes there is the ocasional shit like with YouTube, but the thing is - they are not really trying, they only put enough effort in to inconvenience, hoping more people will drop blocking.

    However, if more people start blocking, I think they will be forced to find more concrete solutions, like the whole DRM fiasco.

      Or someone who doesn’t like generic comments. You could paste half those on any comment chain. They’re the equivalent of an upvote but the commenters felt the need to say it instead. Good downvotes.
