I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:
“If you use adblock, you don’t care about creator’s point blank”
What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

I’ve never used them.
If I like an app or site, but the ads are annoying me, I do one of these:
If there’s an option to pay the creator/aggregator to eliminate the ads, and the cost/benefit is worth it, I’ll pay.
If there is no option to pay, but the app/content is worth the ads annoyance, I’ll keep using the app/site and watch/skip/ignore the ads.
If there is no option to pay, or there is, but the price is higher than what I perceive as the app/content value, I’ll stop using the app/site.
For example, I paid for Baconreader Premium, but I watch YouTube ads, and I removed several sites from my google home page feed because they had more ads than content.
I’m also stop using Reddit, as I don’t think it’s worth enduring their obnoxious native app.
And no, I don’t use pirated software, nor watch or listen to pirated movies or music. If something is priced above what I consider it’s worth, I just don’t use it.
Yes, Baconreader Premium could be consider as a “reddit ad blocker”, but it operated within Reddit’s approval. Now Reddit changed their rules, and it’s their rules.
Tell that to every student who has to pay unreasonable amounts every semester for textbooks…
