@XaiaX @wirehead2501 What is the harm that a site has incurred when I view it adblocked vs. when I don't view it at all?

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 X views *$y ad revenue, where X is “actual views minus ad blocked views”. That revenue pays writers & staff.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@XaiaX@wirehead2501 Yeah, that's not a responsive answer. They don't get the ad revenue when I don't visit the site, either.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 and you don’t exploit their labor that way, either. Your actions are harmful and your reasons don’t matter.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@XaiaX@wirehead2501 I'd also like to know why the harm to users -- crashed browsers, malware infestations, hostile UX -- doesn't signify.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 but saying “I will exploit your labor but actively take steps to make sure you’re not paid” is not the high ground2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@XaiaX@wirehead2501 The labor product was made freely available. If payment were a condition of use, there would be a paywall.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

@XaiaX@wirehead2501 There's a social contract arrogated here about how "everyone knows" things work that I, for one, haven't consented to.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 this is the crux. You feel entitled to their labor as your birthright, why? Why do you HAVE TO GO?4 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@XaiaX@wirehead2501 It's not a birthright, it's something that was put on the internet where anyone can read it.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes
@XaiaX @wirehead2501 If it was put there so it "looks" free but somehow magically "isn't" free? Try a paywall next time.
