Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

    Adblockers are basic internet security these days.

    We don’t need “normies” to keep the internet full of ads. If everyone used an adblocker, companies would be forced to think of more respectable ways to sell their product. Because every way they can find to blast us with ads against our will, we can find a way to block them.

    Adblockers are already a compromise, we can also just hack their servers and distribute through piracy if we felt it necessary.
