so, as the internet evolved it basically became necessary to use software like Ad-Block. It has definitely brought my internet experience back to a place of pleasure, half-assed socialization, and sometimes even edumacation.
With that said, I don't even think twice about using software like this. Not a guilty feeling bone in my body. Just today, a few minutes ago, I noticed the adblock icon on my browser, while on this site and it was at a total of 2. 2 advertisements blocked, total. I then remembered I pay nothing for using this site, and that the site doesn't cram anything down my throat about donations, or create ad-based spam posts. I can't recall my email inbox ever being filled with spam from this site.
So I went into the options and did something I've never done before. I disabled ad-block for this website. For all this site provides me, it demands nothing. And probably costing someone money to maintain, the ads are small and unintrusive nonetheless. I think the least I can do is let some 5kb ads load on my browser if they help cover the costs of maintaining this site.
