What's a TV?
Its one of those boxes you use as a monitor for retro game consoles with analogue output
They either don't know adblock exists or are listening to YouTubers like Linus, who claim that blocking ads on their videos is "stealing"
cmon, pretty sure Linus says that it is basically equivelent to piracy (and hes right) while also freely admitting his use of ublock and saying youre free to use it. Let's not defame others by quoting them out of context.
Linus Sebastian (the youtuber) didn't invent Linux, Linus Torvalds did
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
I don't care. I'm not worried about it. It's not that important. I'm not refusing, I'm just not giving two fucks about it. Why are you so militant about people doing the same thing as you do?
This does not come across the way you think it does.
So the OP calls me stupid? Yeah, I'm stupid for not needing to block ads. Fuck off.
