I don't want loud audio blasting on my headphones before watching a Youtube or news site video. I don't want to watch scam advertisements on Youtube or Instagram. I don't want to be tracked without my consent by third-party ad companies. I don't want to even support companies that track users without consent. I would actually prefer that websites using non-privacy-respecting ad-ware would die. I don't want my computer to be slowed down by random websites. I don't want to be forced to spend hundreds/thousands on computer upgrades. I don't want ad code from ad companies running on my device. I don't want the risk of malware that might come via ads in some websites. I don't want my attention going to jumpy animations on GIF banners (the original reason I started blocking in the early 2000s). And finally: I don't want to spend the bandwidth, regardless of the fact it's gonna cost me money or not.
I am, however:
Happy to watch a Youtube NordVPN or Ridge Wallet sponsorship segment on Youtube that doesn't track me and allow me to skip if I want. Same for TV ads (unless they're obnoxious and loud). Also Happy to unblock websites that don't have obnoxious third-party ads.
