You know I would try to think of something funny to put here but ill just pass on that and threaten people with a + 2 board with a nail in it.
It's reprehensible the poor ad people pay good money for you to see those ads and here you are practically STEALING from theme by blocking them. If you use adblock software you're what's wrong with America.

advertising itself is morally questionable so stealing from the ad men is righteous and good

advertising is the biggest scam ever. its going to all collapse soon anyway. these ad men are now selling ad spaces to other ad men in a oroboros of idiocy.

download any free game and all the ads are for other free games that give you ads for other free games.

soon everyone will realize that the only people paying for ad space is people selling ad space and our economy will tank again because no one actually buys anything they see on a phone.

marketing relies on the lie of marketing

Me too. I lol every time.
I've even installed a highly experimental new app called "adrekt" which actually costs websites money by entering a -1 clickthrough value for every ad it detects.

I reinstalled Adblock 6 months ago, it's blocked 180,000 ads. I think I'm okay with some people not making as much advertising dollars.

Does it play sounds from Quake as it happens? like if its three ads on a page it just yells at you 'TRIPLE KILL!' etc etc if so I think I might donate to that guys paetron/kickstarter/wherever it is people beg for money these days.
