Side note: Does anybody have an effective way of blocking this stupid Admiral BS, I’ve gotten it to a point where it consistently gives me the bypass option but I’d prefer it to go away entirely

    How do you expect the websites you use to exist if everyone ad blocks them?

      Lot’s of websites exist. How did they do it before invasive ads and tracking?

        Back in the day, before ad blockers general unobtrusive ads generated more revenue per site visit. As ad blockers become popular, the value of those same ads were worth less.

        So, to answer your question, they were able to pay the bills with discreet ads which we decided were too annoying, leading to the current spiral of decline.
