| Topic | Ethically, is ad-blocking wrong? |
| Tmk 09/14/17 11:46:53 AM #42: | The whole concept of ads is just bizarre. Like, if you could imagine yourself stepping out of all knowledge you have about the way the world works, and were being introduced to it piece by piece. Someone explaining ads would have to go, "Ah, see, this TV program, is entertainment. It's made by people trying to make something to watch, that other people enjoy...and it's regularly interrupted by several minutes of things no one wants to see. So that they get money" And that's just TV. Ads on like, billboards or whatever are more benign in comparison, but on the flip side, internet ads are regularly war more malicious and invasive. To use the internet, you gotta pay for some sort of device, whether it be a phone or a computer, then you gotta pay to actually be connected to the internet, and then it's fucking riddled with ads, with various sites going "hey pay us money and they'll go away" I'm not sure that's a sustainable future for generating income for folks on the internet. --- I am snazzier, hot, hot rant. Warily slight as. Croak rush, OK? Weirder, almighty make out. ::) ... Copied to Clipboard! |
