#Advertising thread. I’ll keep at it: Using #adblockers is the epitome of entitlement, using ad blockers is anti-social. Ad blockers punish small content providers, they drive the big ones behind paywalls, they destroy content quality overall, and for what?On twitter.com

For the self-righteous feeling that one “defends” one’s #privacy (the one happily forfeited voting cons and nationalists at any major election?), and that one does “something” for one’s #UX on the Web? Now: Ad blockers are actually NOT the Holy Grail for privacy and performance.Permalink On twitter.com

If you really want your privacy, VOTE differently. If you really want web performance, TALK TO (≠ attack) site owners, have their devs to get their act together. If you really want great content for free, well, how about YOU do great work first, and give it away for free, too.Permalink On twitter.com

Keep ads, look at ads, reward good #content, click on ads, and if this is really all so bad then work WITH others. But stop being so entitled, and for Heaven’s sake stop confusing how to assert your rights and how UX on the Web can really be improved. Def not with ad blockers.Permalink On twitter.com

The problems ad blockers try to address are important. We just don’t fix them by having stuff BLOCKED. (You KNOW that.) And the conseqs of ad blocking are far-reaching, too. How can denying of some fine and hard-working people’s income be a SOLUTION? We can do better. Thanks.Permalink On twitter.com
