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 definitely do. The internet has become almost unusable without one. I wouldn’t mind one ad every now and then when reading articles or watching YouTube video’s. If that supports the creators without me having to pay, it’d be an okay compromise to me. The problem is how greedy they’ve become. Many webpages are an ad-ridden hellhole. Watching YouTube in the app interrupts you constantly with ads. And to top it all off they track your every move. Privacy is dead without an adblocker. For a long time I was in camp “watch ads to support creators”, but the greed in the ad industry has absolutely destroyed that goodwill many years ago.
