minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish2•1 year agoDo you think that using adblocker is theft and on the same level as stealing a car? (Just trying to make sure you’re not a linus in disguise)
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish6•1 year agoObviously it’s not like stealing a car and I’m pretty sure that’s a straw man, he just said it’s piracy, which I’d argue it is.

I don’t. I do block adverts when I cannot pay to remove them.
