Any recommendations? Or are you joking.
I know it sounds kind of ridiculous but I’m 100% serious. Depending on what adblocker you use (I recommend uBlock Origin for desktop and AdGuard for Android), you’ll have some way of subscribing to different adblocking lists. They are usually divided in categoriee like ads, privacy, social, annoyances etc. Browse through them all, but the one you’re looking for might in annoyances and will called like Adblock Warning Removal list or Anti-Adblock Killer.

Laudable but still can’t stand Sunak tbfh
As a citizen hard to swallow the llEAdErShIP, no doubt, but broken clock is right twice a day lol
How’s that “3 PMs that no one voted for” thing treating you?
I am a citizen of another G7 plantation but you know it is all the same… some daddies nobody asked for making my life difficult although it seems UK plebs been getting fucked extra hard recently.
A cynical bit of me thinks all the other countries know Moscow is a paper tiger, and so taking “the right side” of things becomes politically convenient. True to dictator fashion, any show of weakness is poison.
Thanks for that clarification.
However, I’m still not quite sure how they came up with the “We’re the top <insert number here> most powerful countries” claim, since it has always been so arrogant to me.
Also, how do they even choose which countries would be included in the club? For example, would Indonesia or the Philippines be part of a hypothetical G50? Why?
Channeling /m/nostupidquestions, I have wondered off and on for about twenty years what Gsomenumber means when referring to countries or summits. Can someone help?
I’ve always understood it as “Group of X most powerful and influential countries”
So, G7 means the “top seven” and G20 means the “top twenty”. What their criteria for determining the ranking, I don’t know.

Thanks to you too as well. I’ve also felt uneasy about it and your question has given me a chance to finally ask about it.
Also, your username matches you.
Thank you, I chose it to help remind me to use it as a goal. :-)
It basically means that but they are formal, static groups. The group composition doesn’t change based on rankings. Russia was invited into the G7 in the late 90s (and it became the G8) then formally expelled when they invaded Crimea in 2014.

There’s no objective metric at all. It was really just the most important economic allies of the US in 1975.
The G20 was partially founded in response to criticism that 7 countries were making economic decisions for the world. The G7 chose who was invited to join. Indonesia and the Philippines are both kind of members (permanent invitees) through ASEAN.
Thanks for your various additional info and clarifications on the topic!
Hey, thanks for this. I’m Filipino but I’ve got no idea about that.
That it was an invitation only club was entirely the point.
This dude has no class. How can you expect anyone to take you seriously when you look like a homeless person?
