Do you use adblock? Why? Why not? (self.asklemmy)

I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Of course I do. The world has gotten absolutely insane with the amount of advertising blasted at us every second of every day. Billboards, posters, magazines, tv, radio, banner ads, sidebar ads, pre-video ads, mid-video ads, post-video ads, spam email, forum posts, polls, tweets, facebook posts, influencers... it's fucking everywhere. You can't even fill your car up with gas without the pump blasting an ad at you now. I'll take any and every opportunity I have to stop that shit from entering my purview.

Maybe this will help with the pumps but the majority of them can be silenced by pressing the 2nd from the top right button. I've found very few stations that disable this and the ones that do I avoid.
