Re:Edward Snowden says it's your 'duty' to install ad blockers by tremon on Wednesday November 18, 2015 @06:58AM (#10587183)
I don't pretend. You make it seem like I need to defend my choice of using an adblocker, I disagree with that premise. There is no sales contract, and I have no obligation to waste my attention on webpage ads anymore than I have an obligation to listen to TV commercials. There is no moral argument to be had either, as long as we ignore the morality of user profiling by the same ad community.

Besides, the cash flow for ad monetization is so convoluted that it would be very hard to conclusive demonstrate financial harm by my actions.

The user profiling and obscure cash flow I agree with. They certainly have to get some shit straight on their end, too. Haha.
