@XaiaX @chaosprime of course it is. i am the person choosing what content to consume.
@XaiaX @wirehead2501 How is the specific, intentional act of putting content on the internet for public viewing not consent to viewing?

@chaosprime@wirehead2501 because of the specific, intentional act of including ads. -
@XaiaX@chaosprime maybe the problem is that it's actually different than radio/TV models, but the end-user experience is the same. -
@wirehead2501@chaosprime Internet ads are far less intrusive than TV or radio ads, though. Look, I hate ads. If a site is horrible I leave -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 The very first time a Flash page-takeover ad crashed my browser, I incurred more cost than all benefit ads could give. -
@chaosprime@wirehead2501 that’s bad browser design, and a sure sign never to go to that site. -
@XaiaX@wirehead2501 Or, y'know, a sign that protecting yourself with an ad blocker and whitelisting sites you trust would be smart. -
@chaosprime if that were how people actually used it that would be better. But people are using bandwidth and labor and not paying. -
@XaiaX It's how I use it. No great interest in assuming responsibility for other people's behavior. - 6 more replies
