    A lot of ads require clicks so if I never click ads anyway, I might as well hide them right?

    Don't care. if I surf this site or many others I get warnings and attempts to install crap on my phone /pc

    I use Kaspersky, Adblock, Ublock and Noscript on firefox , or Brave when I'm surfing.

    The clickbait, flash exploit filled crap is a detriment.

    I belong to one site that has properly and cleanly embedded site sponsor ads that don't change ( from long time sponsors of the forum and firearms community. I allow those they are unobtrusive and clean, unlike the crap that are ads across the next.

    Nope, Nope Nope, Nope. The breaking point was when they started throwing shit up in my face and playing video adds without my consent. Them and there ads can die a slow death in hell, my addblocker stays on.

    I actually tend to not give business to companies that abuse my everyday life with ads. So they should be happy I don't see their full page ads across the screen because I still have a chance of shopping there.

    Michelin on the other hand, too many 15 second full page ads to get to my favorite auto website, I don't buy their products.

    I mean, I could claim it's "stealing" to have my limited bandwidth eaten up by animated and audio ads, particularly on YouTube videos, that I never agreed to viewing in the first place.

    Ads wouldn't have to infect you if didn't use Adblock.

    The day that removing ad blockers doesn't expose my computer to security threats, slow down my PC and open up irritating popup windows that blaze out sound or music, I'll remove them.

    I've got no issue with supporting sites, but I'm not going to expose myself to security risks. That's just foolish.

    This is like the third time you've posted this topic. Do you get revenue from ads?

    Nope, because we are using AdBlock.




    But the OP keeps ignoring that several countries have laws against unsolicited advertising.

    I never click the ads, they take time to load through MY BANDWIDTH. Using MY DATA, they can go suck on it.
