i don’t use ad-blocker, instead i just avoid websites if they’re too ad-ridden, like youtube.

Why though?

uhm, i’m not sure how to respond to that. let me think about it for a long time.

The question isn’t why you avoid sites that use ads, it’s why you don’t have an ad blocker for the one-off situations that you do, like this one.
Or did you go to that particular article on techcrunch as part of your routine of checking if you made the right choice to avoid such sites?
Clearly sometimes you have to go to those sites, and when you do, you’re exposing yourself to ads, tracking, and potential malware unnecessarily…

It’s also way faster to browse with an adblocker because your browser isn’t connecting, downloading and processing a bunch of images and scripts to present that bullshit. Like 80% faster.
