    I run ad blockers. As a security measure. Ad companies collect insane amount of data and do a bunch of shady stuff whenever they can get away with it.

    I want to support websites whenever I’m able, but the way ad companies operate just ain’t it.

    If they clean up their act, maybe then I could stop using ad blockers, but it’s been decades and I don’t have high hopes.

    Also using ad blockers for performance and usability reasons. For example, I used to use a bunch of Fandom wikis and couldn’t understand why people hated the UI. Then I saw how Fandom looks like without ad blockers and holy shit how can humans live like this
