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?

    Personally, I get actually relevant Instagram ads pretty frequently, particularly for various events that I’m interested in. I’ve seen more than a few shows specifically because I saw an Instagram ad.

    I’d naturally prefer no ads, but when they are necessary - and someone does have to pay the costs of running large platforms - I would prefer them to be actually relevant. It’s still ultimately my decision as to whether I buy something or not.
