These shenanigans have me rapidly transitioning from “I don’t want to see your annoying ads” to “I don’t want you to make any money at all”.

I'm already there, and I'm applying this thinking to every site - including the one hosting this article.

Same, I view the whole internet through uBlock and a pihole, so my value as an “impression” is virtually zero.

I’m not against for-profit websites making some money (and I run my own website, which generates a whopping $0), but Google has jumped the shark with their sketchy malware bullshit, and I’m starting to root for that organization to die.

I mean what's the difference between me not watching ads and me watching ads but still not buying their shit because I don't need it? I go out of my way to not buy anything I get ads for, so all it does is waste my time. I'm saving the advertisers money because they don't need to pay to show me ineffective ads.

Switched to duckduckgo purely because I wanted to stop giving Google money via searching
