| Thanks, this is much better/on topic. There's not much I can add in rebuttal without just re-iterating previous points. One thing I was thinking about based on your points now and previous, is that wouldn't you want to block whole site that are ad-supported and not just the ads? You could have an ad-site-block that blacklists all sites that are ad-supported and removes links on pages to them. This whole debate is like "I don't thinking paying movie theater tickers is a good business model, so I just bypass the pay stand. Let that business model die." It seems kinda immoral to me to gladly accept the services of a website and also hope for and contribute to its death. I like to think programmers when they see grocery self-checkout lines just walk past them. * They have malware that steals credit card numbers (See target)! * There's nothing stopping them! They can chose where to walk and where to not walk. * Grocery stores are an outdated business model and it should die. Use Amazon fresh! etc. * They feel no shame. (Seriously. No shame here. I'll tell you to your face that I walk past self-checkout machines. If you proceed to block me from the store, that's entirely fair. At which point I can decide whether I think it's worth using the self-checkout to pay for one grocery item) |
