I block ads on all websites, except those that ask me to stop blocking ads. The first site I stopped blocking them on was Reddit.

There are a few more now that detect that you block ads and politely ask you to disable it to conserve their business model. I gladly oblige.

But for every well run site politely asking you to view their un-scammy non-crappy ads, there must be 100 full of whatever advertising program offers the most money, linking to all kinds of information stealing, questionable ethically companies.

When your business model, advertising, begins to threaten the safety of my system, you better believe I'm blocking it!
