If large websites respected our choices regarding ads (DNT is a decade old, people!) and served contextual ads when asked to not track, we would not need to use #AdBlockers.

Instead, for over a decade now web publishing industry's been hell bent on screwing readers over, ignoring clearly stated preferences, misrepresenting what they do with the data, and using dark patterns to maliciously mis-implement legal requirements when forced to do so.

Stop this crap and I might disable my AdBlocker.

@rysiek give me an option to pay you what the advertiser gives you for my attention and I'll pay it.

Protip: that's $0.0001 per view, not $5/month.

@WagesOf @rysiek DNT was always an assure non-solution that everyone always knew wouldn’t work and that advertisers loved agreeing to as they could use it as a marketing datapoint.
I still last turn it on- but that’s more to be vaguely annoying than anything else.

@mori @WagesOf sure. But it's also a setting that is out there, is a standard, is well understood, and we can show that advertisers and web publishers outright ignore it.

That's also a valuable datapoint.

"Oh you value my privacy? Respect my clearly stated and communicated preference then."
