You get a 5 second delay before they flip the switch if you’re a firefox user.
Can I just say I use chrome so I can get executed instantly?
Yep, just change your user-agent and they’ll flip the switch immediately.

I am next for not leaving a tip at the coffee shop.
They’ll have you tip your executioner, and the minimum amount the kiosk will allow is 22%
It will show 22%, but really be 35%.
We’ve come full circle.
I am next for not leaving a tip at the self-checkout.
I am next for not tipping my landlord.
… giving a tip before you actually get anything.
You monter! Did you know that (something, something, something their emplyer is an asshole who does’t pay them well but somehow you’re the bad guy here)?
Be right behind you for having an unregistered 3D printer
How dare you!
He’s probably a filthy gun-printer!
Guns and dildos is pretty much all those things print!
But can those things print dildo guns?
I dread the day that a politician seriously tries to outlaw my adorable octopus machine
Remember, according to the small Canadian man, adblock is theft
Piracy, actually, but yes. That tweet was such a dumpster fire. All it accomplished was it showed how grossly misinformed Linus was about this topic. How ad blocking equals copyright infringement is beyond me.
He’s 100% Dependent of advertising on YouTube. So his statement is not only biased but completely in favor of his income.
But then again theft is not theft according to the same small Canadian man.
It’s only theft if he loses money.
And sexual harassment in the workplace is not actually sexual harassment either according to the same man.
Ootl --what’d he do this time?
He auctioned of a startup’s prototype without permission.
I’ve followed Linus off and on from the jump, but I’ma listen to actual security experts over him lol.
Denying profit to corporations is theft, so using adblockers will be put on the same level as digital piracy. How dare you consume content without letting your eyeballs get force-fed ads.
For a sec. I thought were fr in the first sentence. Then i remembered wich platform we’re on and why that probably is.
Denying profit to corporations is theft
Absolutely right. In fact, it should be illegal to see a product for sale and not immediately buy it. How dare you see a helpless corporation in need of money, freezing in the streets, and not immediately empty your wallet in exchange for trinkets that they so lovingly engineered to break in a set amount of time? You monster!
To this day, I have never bought something because of an ad. I get the concept of letting people know your product exists, but I know Raid Shadow Legends exists already and I am not interested, so fuck off.
I would like to tell everyone that Raid: Shadow Legends is a shitty game and nobody should play it.

You wouldn’t block a car.
I would if I could. Fuck cars.
Using ad blockers is piracy, insofar as you’re avoiding paying the price the content provider has set for that content. The price is watching the ads, rather than being something directly monetary, and you’re not paying it.
That said, neither that nor piracy are theft, and in both cases I gladly pirate because the prices in most instances have gotten away too high for what you get. Either in terms of subscription cost, or the time and quantity of ads delivered.

From what I understand, Youtube ain’t paying for content anyway. Creators are routinely being de-monitized
Yeah this sentiment can fuck right off
What? That piracy is fine and people should be honest with themselves about doing it?
Piracy is a service issue - just like adblocking, not a payment issue
It can certainly be both. A worse service might be worth a cheaper price. And people will pay extra for good service. That’s literally the airline ticket business model.
It was also 100% a payment issue back when I was a broke student and paying for things simply wasn’t an option. The fact that Steam offered a more convenient service than the pirates at the time was irrelevant because I couldn’t afford it.
All of you using adblockers are pathetic. You’ll willingly deprive companies of their revenue just because you can’t be bothered to see a few ads? It’s not like ads are harmful or anything!
…hang on I think porn just started playing on my computer I have to find where the popup is and close it… Right after I close this other popup that says I’ve won 69 trillion dollars, and this one for dick pills, and this one for free vbucks, and this online casino one, and that one saying I have 420 viruses on my PC, and this one from the local fringe religious group that says I’ll go to hell if I poop, and this one that straight up looks like it’s trying to download ransomware, and… Damn my battery just died from all the extra processing power those popups needed. Uh but adblock is still evil though, don’t forget that.
For refusing to drink the mountain dew verification can
Once they fully implement eyeball tracking to determine if you’re actually looking at ads, we’re all doomed.
You’ve still got some miles left in you, don’t give up! Unless they’re green, then you’re screwed.

Well I mean if my choices are ads or death… Yeah go ahead and flip the switch, I’m done here.
