Until ads are responsible and don't carry risks of injecting malware and trackers, I will block them without prejudice.
Even back in the day they would try to hijack your browser, redirect you to some random page, destroy ability of your back button to take you out, and throw up a ton of popups.
I don't think blocking them is an asshole move until ads are served responsibly, without threatening my security or privacy. When, and if, that day ever arrives I will stop blocking them because I understand that most sites subsist solely off ad revenue, at least in this current Internet model we live with.
Just a reminder that this thread, and my comments, are in the context of someone saying the OP had linked a particularly bad website for ads, and this person being attacked
If your position is what you've actually written here then I don't think there is a real disagreement but I am surprised by the effort. There's only a disagreement if you think it's reasonable to call out someone for making a comment about the ads on a website being excessive and telling that person they don't get that privilege because they don't use the internet your way. Everything that follows is just a retaliatory mirror on the issues with "your way" (yeah it's another poster not you)
