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

    I don’t, without the advertising a lot of the content can’t exist and I like the context to exist.

      This is a double edge sword.

      Ad revenue has enabled poor content to exist.

      Ads on useful content detracts from that content, and disrespects a user’s time/attention.

      If you pay them a single one time purchase of £1, that will be worth more to them than all the adverts you ever have or will watch.
