MODERATORS
The real group getting screwed here are advertisers who used to get free protection against their campaigns running with excessive frequency.
This change lets Google burns their customers ad budgets of a bunch of junk duplicate impressions.
The people paying for content are the parasites?
I thought it was the monopolist in the middle engaging in rent-seeking behavior like this.
Dude I hate ads too but I recognize that people like you and me who view content but block the way to pay for it, we’re actual parasites on the creatives. Google is just a bigger parasite and exploits both creatives and advertisers.
Just because you don’t know any artists doesn’t make you cool for ripping them off.
The website owner who pays to keep their site up with ads and write stuff on their site. I read a lot of stuff on small sites so I feel a little bad, but I'm not wasting bandwidth to let them play video ads on a static site.
