Well, yeah.

Similarly, if you work in a bank, I recommend not spontaneously shouting about the evils of capital while lighting the til on fire.

The entire point of the extension is to attack the incentive mechanism that makes ad networks work. This tends to mix poorly with trying to turn a profit from those same networks.

In addition to google, it's likely to get you at least shadowbanned on any site that has ads and does any sort of basic fraud prevention.

What's Shadowbanning? Never heard of this.

It's where you're effectively banned without being told about it. You can still use the service, but any action you take is isolated from the rest of the site. The term I think comes from reddit but the concept is by no means unique to them: your upvotes or downvotes wouldn't affect rankings and nobody would ever see your submissions or comments other than you. The idea is to let spammers or fraudsters waste their energies on accounts that have already been flagged, instead of notifying them that they've been banned so they switch to a clean account.

Thanks, I had no idea! Never heard of this. Really good explanation.
