Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder

  I’m pretty sure I’ve clicked im like 3 ads in my life accidentally. But I saw people actively clicking in ads on purpose regularly and that shit shocked me completely. People don’t look at it as malware and phishing links lime I do and think it’s a good thing. Internet was a mistake.

    I’ve heard the phrase “I saw an ad on Instagram for…” way too many fucking times.

    I used to click on ads when they were hosted by Project Wonderful. :( Shit was amazing. I even hosted some back in the day.

    I use Ad Nausaem (probably butchered the spelling) Firefox plugin on my home PC for that. Instead of blocking ads, it hides them into a sandbox and “clicks” on them in the background. Won’t use it on anything battery-powered though.
