I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    “If you don’t pledge fealty to your feudal Lord, you don’t care about the artists for which he is patron.”

    I don’t care about creators who demand that I surrender my privacy as the only valid show of support for them.

      That’s it for me, way to put it. If a creator wants (as most do) money, let me donate. Don’t shovel ads down my throat, I won’t sympathize with your situation since you’re fucking both of us over

        But my Lord is good, right, and honourable, and if he sees fit to install a cryptominer on your system through an ad exploit, surely he has his reasons!

          spoiler alert

          It’s money.

          The reasons are all money.
