(Me on remote support yesterday, installing uBlock Origin Lite into Chrome)

I wrote my first adblocker in 1999.

Mastodon and Archive get a lot more reach if Twitter, FB, Insta, and Youtube roll over and sink

I know we need... *autoplay video ad starts and follows me when I try to scroll past it, forcing me to inspect and delete the element that produced it*

*More lazy loading ads pop in, filling the gaps between paragraphs, now there's more ads than content*

I understand the need for ads, it's just they make it so diff...

*page stops loading due to ad load, my CPU fan sounds like it's launching for the moon...*

If ad revenue dies, 90% of the internet will be AI slop and paywalls.
