@alternativeto This is nice! But from the AltText it isn't clear what's the humorous goodbye exchange.

Company: person with computer head: welcome to my website. Here are some adds.
user, smiling: I won't see them because I've addblocker.
Company computer face thinking he's smart: well, you need to turn off adblocker to continue.
User, still smiling: Goodbye.
Computer face left standing with open mouth.

It's a really big internet and there are a whole bunch of places to go and be entertained, informed, provoked, whatever-you're-trying-to-do.

@alternativeto Once upon a time, I wanted to keep the ads on so I can support the websites I visit.... Then I got a virus and it was like, f@& that, and have been using adblock ever since. Using the internet without adblock, is no different than having unprotected sex.

@alternativeto I was ok with websites serving me adverts to generate revenue. Which is how ads used to work.

But it's a level beyond that now, and far more nefarious. Websites now use trackers dressed as adverts, so third parties can collate the info, invade my privacy and flog that data in a way that could be used against me.

They broke the social agreement, so I'm not accepting their ads or their cookies, and I'm blocking their trackers whenever I can.

@alternativeto It always amazes me how salesmen think people actually want to talk to them

@alternativeto This would also be important to consider.

@alternativeto

I don't have Ad Blocker. It's not perfect but the on off switch works fairly well.

@alternativeto archive.is come in clutch sometimes, especially with those articles you have to pay to read.

@alternativeto
That's me.

@david_bardos
Yep!
