I will say though, if I could be GUARANTEED that ALL ads would be non-intrusive and free of malware I would personally stop using adblock.

If a site hosts a jpeg itself, and codes the hyperlink right into the html, adblockers won't block it.
That just, you know, takes a hell of a lot more effort than a magic-money-button javascript snippet, and requires finding advertisers who will pay upfront instead of milking "non-identifiable" profiles across countless other sites.

Is it ethically wrong to change the channel on my TV when an ad plays?

The difference there, is that Mt. Dew paid ahead of time. Web ads, in contrast, pay for every thousand times the ad actually loaded.

If TV ads (or billboards) ever somehow managed to be as intrusive and invasive as web ads, there'd be riots and lawsuits.

No.
I came here for gamefaqs - not taboola, pagefair, indexww, agkn, sharethrough, google-analytics, qualtrix, demdex, criteo, scorecardresearch, or cbsi.

All adblocking really is, is denying access to or from an untrusted internet host.

I have seen enough shitty ads overrun my phone to know that I don't have any reason to believe the people who run websites actually have any idea of the kind of schlock they allow to be advertised on their site and the methods used to deliver those ads to the viewer.

That's how it is, really.

find NoScript works better than actual adblock


Noscript also totally breaks 80% of the Internet


Allow [domain] and [obvious CDN], and suddenly 95% of that 80% starts working again.

Executions are "bad" for two very simple reasons:
1. It costs more than just warehousing a prisoner forever, for some reason, in the US anyway.
2. It serves no useful purpose, apart from meaningless "closure" and petty vengeance.

Have you not ever wondered why we don't have barbaric punishments like the one in TC's post anymore?

Because strapping someone to a gurney and injecting a large amount of fentanyl is more efficient.

It's all you can do. Just be sure to note in the write-up that you aren't going easy on them, the lack of suspensions in no way diminishes the infraction.

This is the correct answer.
