gabriele97What scares you most? And why exactly this?
Blimp7990Stop accepting ads in your life, ffs. What is it with people and steadfastly refusing to install an adblock? Are you stupid?
The more ubiquitous ad blockers are, the more incentive companies have to pour resources into the “problem”. I’m really not sure what the endgame is of calling out why every user doesn’t have ad blockers on. The more we push on it, the harder it is to block ads. Honestly, in 2023 if someone allows ads in their spaces, let them. But I’d rather continue with what we have than push all users to something. I say this as a sports fan who knows all too well what happens to streams once they get too popular. I’ve gone through countless quality streamers that haven’t survived once word of mouth got out. Ad blocking will go the same way if it grows in popularity
we have already seen this story in 2000: piracy
heres why this is important: in the current regime, we are the defenders and they are the attackers. Ie, they just need 1 exploit, we need to block all of them
in a piracy regime, the roles are flipped: we just need 1 exploit to get the data, they need teams of people to protect their shit.
Nobody wants to return to that, which I think is to our advantage wrt adblock.
I get what you’re saying, but I’m hoping I’m more right :)
