  Because ads don’t ask for your consent.

    Sure they do, I’ve revoked my consent by installing an adblocker I haven’t watched a video ad in probably 8 years.

      same. feels so weird when I have to use a users computer and it’s bloated with trash ads. if they’re smarter than the avg bear techwise, I’ll show them ublock, if they’re dicks, they suffer ads. I block almost 1.5 million ad sites in my pihole, it’s sickening how many there are.

    Ads are a bit mind-rapey

    And you have the agency and ability to either pay for the service or investigate other means of avoiding them. Complaining about them is just annoying.

      this is my argument. there isn’t a huge monetary entrance fee, just some time to set things up. the solution is there with minimal effort, your right to complain has left the building, do something about it or gtfo.
