mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters

me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU

One of the paradoxes of the modern internet is that I genuinely understand sites need to get revenue somewhere, and while I don't love ads I'm actually okay seeing relatively unintrusive ads on a free site, hearing words from sponsors, etc.

But the modern internet is so full of modal popups and video ads on autoplay and trackers that using it without an adblocker is basically impossible, so everything gets blocked.

[ktempestbradford]

This. Right. Here. I started aggressively blocking ads after getting a virus twice from sites I was attempting to support by not having the ad blocker on. When I mentioned the virus to the owner of the second website where it happened, he had no way of tracking down which ad had even done it since he was using an ad service.

At the time I worked for a magazine with a website and mentioned to my boss that I always had an ad blocker on when I went to our site and he was all appalled, like: How could you?

I told him straight up: If you want me to get my job done in a timely manner I cannot wait 34,000 seconds for our website to load every time I go to a new page, nor do I wish to have my computer put out of commission by whatever nonsense the company who serves our ads allows through their "security checks" which were, in actuality, nonexistent. And I'm sure our readers felt the same way.

Yet we continued to ad more banners and side ads and popups and whatever other nonsense because that's how you make money. (Except it was hard to make any money on these ads....)

Every time I get one of those popups begging me to turn off my ad blocker I laugh and click past them, because: No. It's not worth it. It's not safe. It's not wise.

What's so boggling to me is that ad blockers wouldn't work on ads that were literally just an image on the page with a link that tracked if I clicked it or not. (At least, this is how I understand it from working on the web for a while, but I could be wrong.) I know that such ads won't give the ad companies or their clients or the shady-ass data brokers the tons and tons of data on me that an ad served by a third party javascript whatever would. But it seems to me that most folks are savvy enough to use ad blockers now, so not as many people are even seeing those ads. But they would see a JPEG.

Also, if you're not using an ad blocker: Get. One. Now. It is not safe to browse the web without one.

hell, get two. Just in case.

I grew up playing a lot of flash games, and could pretty clearly tell from the age of 7 that all the ads on there were scams. I just kind of internalized "you should obviously never click on an ad, those are scams." So I've never given a website money that via ad clicks— the bad ads hurt the good ones, too.

I'm not going to say I'm immune to advertising (nobody is), but if I ever ended up buying the brands I saw, it never happened via me clicking an ad.

[lunarlagomorph]

Saw someone argue that jkr just happened to be the one who wrote harry potter and if anyone else wrote it thered be no problem. Which beyond being wrong is a really funny idea about what an author is

[sotrias-labyrinth-deactivated20]

There’s always this curious idea I see thrown around that writing has nothing to do with the author and the environment they live in, but that really they’re just spinning ideas out of thin air with no connection to the real world

[mc-minty-spice]

Do those people think like, The Muses grant stories to us mortals? Because I promise you, the Muses could do better than Harry Potter.
