Kants Categorical Imperative is a terrible way to model reality. People are too stocastic.

It's the same mistake libertarians make when they assume a fully informed and rational society.

It's not a way to model reality, terrible or otherwise. That’s not what it purports to do.

I didn’t say others are obligated to do the same. I said the opposite , actually. Rather, for the services to remain viable, some people have to not block ads, and for this reason, I have chosen to be one of those some.

How how-well-things-work depends on the number of people doing a thing, varies from thing to thing. For some things, as long as one or more people behave in a particular way, a thing goes well. For other things, if even one person does a particular thing, things go badly. And there are plenty of situations in between.

These different situations call for different responses, I think.
