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?

    I use Brave Browser much of the time on mobile, in which case I am blocking ads.

    On the desktop, I only block trackers. I find it does seem to break some of the less palatable ads.

    I started getting YouTube Premium (formerly “Red”) when I subscribed to Google Play Music back in the day, and find it well worth it.

    If a site is a mess of ads, I will take my attention elsewhere.

    Otherwise, seeing responsibly-implemented ads costs me little/nothing to offer a little bit of support to someone who has offered me a little bit of content.

    This is probably the totally wrong audience for this (good day for no karma), but I don’t think ads are inherently evil. I’m on Lemmy because I love open source and community-controlled projects!
