    Yeah that’s well put. All this advocacy for adblockers and not accepting the awful state of things fall on deaf ears, most people don’t care, they accept the state of things as it is, and technology as magic.

        But that’s the thing. To play the devil’s advocate:

        Should expect/demand better

        Should they? Says who? Us - who to most people are - “weird computer people” for knowing how to navigate an excel spreadsheet?

        We know it sucks. But they’re entitled to think it’s fine, especially since we’ve made so much noise about this for the past decade that it’s hard to imagine anyone is uneducated still.

        “Liberating” the masses in this manner seems like a crusade up the alley of Don Quixote.
