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

    No not at all. But the ads on the internet are actively malicious. They’re misleading at best and actually dangerous at worst. I refuse to support that.

    I really am sorry for the smaller sites that need the ads to run. But I won’t help you if the ads don’t change.

      So again, how should small websites exist then?

      Donations and subscriptions almost never work unless you are already a well trafficked website so I’m curious what your solution is…

        I don’t have one. That’s part of the problem. The ads system needs to be fundamentally changed. But I’m still not going to expose myself and my devices to malicious ads and malware for the sake of your small site. It’s not worth the risk for me personally.

          Yeah, it makes sense and I don’t blame you.

          IIt’s one of those tragic game theory problems, like the prisonwr’s dilemma, climate change or anything else where we all suffer because it’s in no one’s self interest to do the socially beneficial thing.

            Yeah. It really is sad, but I’m not going to do something that is directly negatively impacting me just to keep up a site run by someone I don’t even know.
