I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    the argument feels like guilt tripping poor people for not making their masters richer. if you only care about getting paid, I do not give any fucks about your content because it’s probably garbage anyway. it seems the only “content” people like this produce are shitty hottakes of them ranting about something they don’t understand.

    tl;Dr if your content is just a recording of yourself then it’s accurate to say I don’t give a shit about the content creator in that scenario.

      Also, at least in my experience, the people who most have a problem with this and make statements like “adblockers are piracy” or “adblockers kill creators” tend also to be the people who put dick pill and crypto ads on their website. The people most in favour of ads tend to be the people using the least tolerable ads on their content. In the same way that people who spout “no censorship anywhere, free speech at all costs” whenever their social media posts get removed tend to post content that serves as the best arguments for websites needing ‘censorship.’
