  The lock on my front door doesn't have to stop a professional lock picker to be useful.

You've taped the key to the door knob. You're not stopping bots or bad actors, and I'll sleep plenty well at night knowing I use an ad blocker.

I literally am stopping bots though, it isn't hard to see the results or the differences between results into my systems with it on and off. It's weird that you're trying to argue against my actual experience.

Of course you do, you've managed to justify to yourself that your leeching is both giving it to Google and somehow supporting content creators. The internal inconsistency could only possibly lead to a good nights sleep.
