@jack Smaller content creators, I throw them a couple bucks on Patreon and keep blocking the ads. They often have no control over what the ads are, so the ads are still usually scams regardless of conglomerate or smol bean.

@jack @Infrogmation pretty much every good and ethical ad gets around all blocking methods.

@jack @Infrogmation it's not that simple. Usually when someone puts and ad link, they don't put an *ad* link they put an adservice link. Adblockers block adservices over which anyway the creators don't have control. And they may show nasty stuff (think of google ads) good faith ads always get through adblockers because most of them are hardcoded into the website so it is permanent ad put there by the creator. It is noninvasive, compared tp google ads.

So no, by using an adblocker you don't block revenue for small creators. This and the fact that patreon kofi liberapay exist
