I was doing some work for a company and someone posted on Slack about ad blockers. I noted to everyone that I used ad blockers because I don't like how invasive ads have become.

The founder and CTO then proceeded to berate me in the channel for using a blocker. He had made a lot of money over the years from writing code that helped ads figure out what content to target for a user.

I still use an ad blocker, but have added Disable Javascript to all my browsers as well, just in case they try to detect I'm blocking things.
