@MostlyTato @cobweb I'd be quite happy with advertising if it weren't intrusive. I still read the ads in paper newspapers. But I can't even read the article in the on-line ones, even the same newspaper, without blockers.
And then there are the news sites with auto-play videos. What kind of arsehole makes those? Easy answer: the kind whose news I won't read.

@libroraptor @cobweb Same here. Intrusive advertising and auto play crap force you to use tools that block everything. If they were less aggressive then maybe they wouldn't be blocked so much.
