The anticipation about adblockers on iOS has been fervent and growing for a while now. Marco went and setup an agreement with one of the larger purveyors of block lists, then utilizing that to all advantages to corner the market. I find it highly dubious that he didn't think it would be lucrative.

The ramifications and gray area of adblocking are not new. They are not unknown. This has been a discussion for literally years. As with others, it seems obvious that there is something else that motivated this sudden change of perception, and personally I would wager that very shortly we'll see Ghostery skip the middle man and release their own blocker, probably with some financial considerations.

What argument are you making? The person you are arguing against is saying that Marco didn't fully realize what he was getting into, quickly did realize it, felt uncomfortable, then got out. If your argument is that Marco should have realized what he was getting into, then you're not disagreeing with anyone, including Marco.

That's clearly not what inversionOf was saying.
