I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Some ads are just fraud too.

I always love going onto a completely innocuous and SFW site and getting five popups of porn shoved in my face. I love when I'm in public and that happens. /s

Some are malware unbeknownst to the ad delivery service, which gives even more reason to use an ad blocker.
