    Understandable position and truly unpopular. My opinion is - ads are the raison d’être of surveillance capitalism of today and they often exploit our psyche in a ways that border on mind control, so minimizing my exposure to them doesn’t break social contract, and most people don’t block ads not because they think that it harms someone but because they don’t know that it’s possible.

      I agree.
