Oh no, you'll have to pay for the services you use!
I've seen you a bit on a few of these posts, always defending these companies' behavior. I tend to disagree with your stance. While I do understand that the infrastructure behind the sites I use is not free (trust me, I run some sites myself and my pitiful little things are expensive), I also do not think punishing users for adblock is justified. Neither is scraping as much data as can be gathered for further sale. Advertising can be very intrusive anymore and data collection from sites is no different. It's not that the sites want to make money; it's their insistence that the user is the product. Just pay walling the service would be much less scummy and unjustifiable than this nonsense.
I am not paying hostage takers. I don't negociate with terrorists. You will let me call grandma OR ELSE.
This loser again. Hello, moron.
