May peple say that websites rely on ads, and if you block them you're consuming their content for free.

Yes, but then you are stealing from the company who paid for the ad. <____<

Don't make annoying/intrusive ads and I'll shut it off.

How fucking hard is it?

malware ads weren't part of the deal

I remember a time where gamefaqs had tolerable ads. Then I installed adblock. Then later on I was like "oh c'mon guys, the ads aren't that bad" and disabled adblock

The other night I disabled ad-block to see how bad it really was and it was awful. Sites were much slower, ads were intruding upon the information I came to see constantly... if anyone's stealing it's these sites that steal my time and my patience by destroying their own experiences with obtrusive ads.

My computer is kinda old and everything runs so buttery smooth without ads. It's also much better for battery life on mobile devices.

I guess maybe I am, but I don't use that many sites. If every site I used had a reasonable paid tier I'd probably just sub assuming the agreement was that they'd no longer sell my data or serve ads.

see on gamefaqs, the ads really slow everything down to a crawl even with a decent system it's not a mobile only problem either

Ads are stealing from me.

Either costing me data if on my phone, or time otherwise. And can be loaded with other annoyances. Malware, leading you off site, taking up far too much space etc.

They're providing their content for free and imbedding content I don't want with it. If I block what I don't want, what business is that of theirs?
