I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

    I use adblock (uBlock origin) because the internet is nigh unusable otherwise. It’s incredibly risky (even irresponsible) to not have adblock turned on given the danger of malware, or malware in the guise of advertisements. However, I’d whitelist sites that are decent about it–though in practice, I find it risky to temporarily disable my adblock just to test things, much less to whitelist them.

    Most of all, there are other, better, ways to support content creators in the internet.
