> Once it's on my machine, I have the moral right to do whatever I please with it. Huh, you can throw the guest out by not watching youtube. Ripping off guest seems strange moral right. > Stop trying to normalize advertising, which is to say, stop trying to normalize the enshittification of the human mind. Seems like you are deciding on everyone's behalf on what one should do with their mind. |

If the content is rendered in my browser I can manipulate the JS and HTML as much as like. If you don’t like that -> feel free to put protections. But the same way a browser interprets the code I can put stuff on top of that interpretation.
So morally I’m okay to use a blocker if that’s what I want to do. It’s also immoral to track me but Google seems to be okay with it. If that is the relationship they want to establish so be it. I will act in the reciprocal manner.
The idea is not to decide on what someone else is going to do with their mind. Hence the idea that everyone is free to do what they want. Ads are not a natural part of the world so making the argument that not watching them is somehow wrong is what is actually a decision being pushed on others.
If companies didn’t try to normalize ads and tell you off for using adblockers then nobody would have a problem with it. But given that people say: You need to watch ads otherwise you are stealing is putting decisions in someone’s mind.
