It's the same.

My mp3 player will play that song you downloaded as well.
It's like your butler downloading a torrent with a song played to you.
I won't argue pirating is not moral. But it has the same morality as blocking ads.
The free ones they hand out in subways contain 80% ads. If you cut the ads out you will have nothing left to hold onto.
I recently switched from org to the countrycode version for a domain that was available and saved half of the cost.
If this silently clicks ads in the background the click rate goes up but the goal action (buying, signing up) remains at 0 which smartprices the ads and tanks the value of the ads for the real clickthroughs.
If you must block ads just use uBlock Origin so you are treated like your visit doesn't exist.
A deeper question is it moral to consume content and block the ads. Wouldn't that be the same as pirating a movie? (not that there is anything wrong with pirating). Are there people who would block ads and complain about people pirating, or even stealing from a store if you can get away with it.
If you got in before anyone heard of the company it could be a true lottery ticket.
What companies do you know that have been around for 10 years that someone should join today to get the next lottery ticket?
Teenagers are secretly recording girls on there phones having sex with them.
They use a phone and save the video.
They share clips with friends on snapchat
They send full length clips via google drive or other file sharing programs.
A friend may upload to pornhub and random people can see. Under 200 videos in 3 years were found.
You think by shutting down pornhub it stop this? Your daughter is safe? You are focusing on the least important part of the chain. If pornhub doesn't exist this is shared on xxxvideos or vk or someother service.
If you really wanted to stop the problem you have to halt the chain of events earlier.
Now go into an area with decomposing bodies. The additional bacteria load will overwhelm most.
It's a little more complex qnd the way you explain it is how I would introduce the topic to my child. You may have billions of bacteria but if you introduce billions of different types you may not have the bacteriophages to deal with those types and your body may produce these as a defense (or not if your immune system is weak) but what happens in many cases your body may kill off beneficial bacteria and that gets replaced with a similiar but non-beneficial bacteria and because the phages changed you can't get back. We see this with fluoroquinolone antibiotics[1]

Unpleasant might fit better.
It doesn't break ethical rules to ensure ads are shown so income can be generated to pay for hosting.
A global search/replace is a hotfix hammer that should only get pulled out rarely and carefully by manually reviewing all changes.
Writing a paragraph kills any formatting in vi/vim.
Why not write a comment if a paragraph is required to understand what you are doing.
This sounds like Hungarian notion taken to the extreme.
