  With most fixed residential users having their modems on 24/7, there’s more incentive to simply keep renewing the lease. Why would you risk potential service disruption to your clients?

  People are way too sanguine about this anti-AI thing. It’s just a meme, for crying out loud.

  Potentially.

  I don’t know about NZ (or wherever you are), but IP addresses for residential access in the US don’t really change all that much. It’s… concerning.

  You do have a point, but… It’s not for nothing. It’s to hurt the predatory ad industry. And what you give up isn’t much: your IP address and likely the referral (so they know you visited website X that was serving their ad). It’s up to you to decide whether that’s an acceptable privacy cost to conduct this kind of guerilla ad warfare.

  It would be cool if it could somehow integrate to a VPN and only do that while the VPN is active. I don’t think it’s possible, though.

  Haven’t you heard? Bayer and Monsanto are one. And Dow and Dupont have fused too. Together, Bayer-Monsanto and Dow-Dupont control over 60% of all grain seed production in the world. All your wheat, corn, rice… it’s all in the hands of these 2 companies.
