    An asshole move is consuming other people’s work without giving them something in return and then bitching at anyone that accurately points out you’re a leech

    But yes, the current ads based system is mighty broken. I did touch on that, so did the comment before me, and I’m surprised an expansion felt needed

      Then they should lock their ‘property’ up behind logins and shit. Nobody owes anything to some random person that share on the internet. It is not my job or responsibility to support some rich Unt’s ideology and belief that people should horde ‘property’ and force others to pay them, instead of open source sharing.

      Ads are ‘enshittification’ - the hallmark of capitalist/psycho attitudes.

      Oh, and please remember that Ads are pure manipulation - not a ‘service’ !

        Never said ads are good nor that adblockers shouldn’t be used

        Most of your arguments hold for stealing from a baby “they should protect it better, I don’t owe them shit”

        This one “why shit allover someone saying a website has more ads than usual” comment I made seems to have found a lot of selfish assholes that can’t not force their views on other people and tell them how they should live their lives
