All these poor advertisements that aren't being seen depress me. What about your betters? They need you to know about what products they offer you so you can lap them up. Here you are though, just blocking these beautiful ads we've created for you. For shame!

At my workplace adblock is installed on every computer. The IT department considers it a mandatory security feature like antivirus software and firewalls. One i was reading a blog i liked and i thought hey, maybe I should turn off adblock to support them (yeah, I know) instantly three or four video ads with sound started playing and my browser crashed. I sure learned my lesson! Pekinduck fucked around with this message at 00:50 on Oct 3, 2015 |

les fleurs du mall posted:The use of adblock is morally questionable? When I was in driver's ed (way back in the olden days) my instructor who was also a gym coach got mad at me for changing the radio station when commercials came on. He said I had a "moral obligation" to listen to commercials on the radio. I told him that the radio station had already been paid for running the ad, and he said that I still had to listen to it for the advertiser to get their money's worth. He was a complete loving moron. In the case of adblock on the internet however, I don't know how the advertisers get paid, and more importantly, I don't care. So I would answer your question with a "no".

Hey. What do you know . Advertisers are good at convincing idiots that you have a moral obligation to be fed bullshit Maybe they should sell a real product and not a self sustaining lie that's going to collapse. Advertising stoped working in 1990 and they've been running on the lie of it ever since. I'm sure exposing someone to your brand works but now there's so much it's just background noise to us.

Actually op, protecting one's self from brainwashing and propaganda is every free man's moral duty. My foreign friends cannot believe the amount and frequency of advertising on american TV. They give up after 10inutes of trying to watch american tv. Remember, repetition is the most basic form of brainwashing.

Do you remember the intrusive ads from Minority Report? Those will be real one day. It's a loving arms race the more ways we think to avoid ads the more ways those cunts come up with to shove them down our throats.

If advertisers weren't shoving ads in my face constantly, I might not block them. But I'm too scared to turn uBlock off.

But for demand fulfillment, the net has my number. Like when I browse poo poo at Amazon deciding what running shoe to buy but don't pull the trigger. All the sudden I'm getting a fuckton of running shoe ads and its a constant reminder to go back to Amazon and pull the trigger. ----------------
