    Ok. But that is just you personally, and the internet carers to far more than just you.

    The media I consume is mostly youtube

    Which is ad-based, even if you and I likely use ublock.

    I won’t miss anything that ran on ads

    You won’t miss any YouTube content? Really? There’s not a single YouTube channel you like? You won’t miss hundreds of news websites? Game mod websites? Sites with Old game archives? Etc etc.

    Ok whatever, let’s assume that’s right. It still doesn’t change anything. You feeling that way doesn’t mean ads will no longer exist.

    Ads will exist regardless of your feelings on the matter, because so much of the internet is reliant on it. With that in mind, surely you’d rather ads not be the privacy nightmare they are right now, no?

    I feel like people are shitting on a real improvement to the way things currently are in order to fawn over a completely unrealistic change. In other words, letting perfect be the enemy of good.
