Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

    Internet is not free, and there was plenty of cool stuff online well before everyone decided to make money out of every single thing. So no, bad argument.

    Edit: Let me correct myself: there was much more cool stuff before.

      It costs money to host a website. And if the creator feels they are entitled to some money if people keep viewing their content, then that’s alright.
