HN: where the 200K TC tech rockstar ninjas will wane poetic for days about why they can’t pay 15 dollars a month for YouTube premium but really need to use ad blockers to watch YouTube without ads for some ideological reason

View on HN

You should really say that many of the users here work for companies entirely dependent on advertising. Its not that we are rich and can afford to pay to not see ads, its that we are rich because of ads!.

Nevertheless I believe that we can hate ads personally. It does hurt. But the truth does that sometimes. It's better than not acknowledging it and leads to better outcomes. The ideology gets the light of truth.
