      Do you think that using adblocker is theft and on the same level as stealing a car?

      (Just trying to make sure you’re not a linus in disguise)

        Obviously it’s not like stealing a car and I’m pretty sure that’s a straw man, he just said it’s piracy, which I’d argue it is.

        It’s like taking the train without paying, you aren’t inherently hurting anyone, but if no one pays/watches ads it’s not sustainable.

          You remind me of the Simpsons episode where Marge was watching ads on Tivo because she felt bad for skipping them

        I don’t. I do block adverts when I cannot pay to remove them.
