I prefer using adblockers not because I dislike ads, but because they help me protect against potential abuse. You see, most of the malicious and abusive experiences I come across on the Internet are actually through ads.

They often try to steal my bandwidth, take up valuable screen space, or even take control of my browser. Some ads have even tried to install software without my consent, which is downright alarming. Honestly, browsing the Internet can sometimes feel like a battle against the ad industry's hostility. So until the ad industry starts behaving better, which unfortunately doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon, I'll continue relying on adblockers to ensure a safer browsing experience.

@atomicpoet With the recent youtube decision to ban ad blockers, the experience has gotten much worse. Ads for janky, disgusting, or alarming products, random interruptions, and so on. It not good for YT for people to know whom they'll take ad dollars from. Embedded ads can by the creators be a bit annoying but are much more judicious. Like, I'm not sure I really need athletic greens but at least it's not an Epoch Times documentary.

@venitamathias @blackmastodon The Fulton County jail is not listing her as having been arrested yet. Still waiting maybe?

@venitamathias @blackmastodon That does seem to be the smart move! Especially if she has her own non-Trumpy legal counsel now.
