@CanisPundit I went onto a blog post for a knitting pattern a few days ago, and AdBlocker reportedly blocked *775* ads on the one page. I still I saw ads.
One. Page. I know ppl want to monetize their stuff but holy crap.
@CanisPundit @kismatt or head to the library. :)
@JeniRizio @kismatt exactly! It was in my head (along with the Right Wing attacks on libraries in general) but I didn’t write it. The privatization of information, surveillance, and dumbing down the population all intersect whether by design or coincidence.
@kismatt wow, just wow. I was searching recipes recently and some of the pages had numerous pop ups (let alone unnecessary text) that made navigating on a huge screen difficult. Time to buy more cookbooks and other specialty books👍
