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?

To me, Adblock (Ublock Origin, actually) comes with the internet package. I mean, if I'm connected to the internet in any way, I have to do it with several layers of adblocking. Sometimes, when I have to use someone else's phone or compute, I'm appalled at how pervasive ads are. It's crazy what other people tolerate. I ask them, 'how do you get by with so many ads?' And, to my surprise, some will say, 'it's normal, no biggie.' Then I rejoice yet again for adblocking technologies and for how much they contribute to my well being and sanity. So, do I use adblockers? Most definitely!
