No.

@Infrogmation can confirm.

[Gast]

@Infrogmation *sigh* Right click, inspect element, delete

[Gast]

@Infrogmation indeed. If it's a choice between disabling my adblocker or missing their stuff then sorry guys, no visit from me.

[Gast]

@Infrogmation <closes tab and never returns>

[Gast]

@Infrogmation

I read the words "DISABLE YOUR AD BLOCKER" as, Click the X in the upper right corner of your screen.

[Gast]

@Infrogmation Often the ad links are how the people who made the content you're looking at get paid. Knock yourself out when it's giant media conglomerates, but smaller content creators are a different story.

[Gast]

@Infrogmation add to that "Install the app for a better experience"

[Gast]

@Infrogmation dare me!

[Gast]

@Infrogmation I click the back button to disable, right?

[Gast]

@Infrogmation NO

@Infrogmation the computer the teacher has to use at university doesnt have any ad blocker extension installed

today, the history teacher wanted to show something because it would add to the explanation, and there was a huge ad that said "click here for FREE ROBUX"

internet ads feel less like ads and more like scams

@jack @Infrogmation

It's ok. I just won't read their content. Therefore I have no moral obligatin to them. I'm fine with that.

[Gast]

@frang @Infrogmation … and downranks/blocks the website in the Kagi search results!

[Gast]

@LaNaehForaday @Infrogmation

Got it in one. 3:O)>

[Gast]

@flipper That or the "close tab" button

[Gast]

@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.

[Gast]

@Infrogmation No. And if I'm really required to view the site, the nag popup gets nuked too.

[Gast]

@Infrogmation We hate ads! We hate paywalls! Hey, why have so many journalists lost their jobs? Why is there only cheap AI slop left?

[Gast]

@Infrogmation I don't know how anyone surfs the web anymore without an ad blocker. Its lunacy out there. H NO!
