    What I find fascinating is how ad blocking is now being equated with piracy. Yeah, I get that ads pay bills and revenue supports sites, but holy shit, ads have gotten exponentially more intrusive and frequent than they ever were. If I have to watch a 30 second ad to see a 1 minute youtube video, I’m not going to bother. It’s not a reasonable burden. If a website truly wants to keep out people with ad blockers, they can limit access to their website to browsers that don’t work with ad blockers.

    I was actually thinking about how there are tons of memes I do not and will not ever understand because the shared experience is of seeing an online ad campaign, and I’ve been using ad blockers since at least 1996.

      Whenever I see an ad interruption on someone else’s YouTube or something, I’m aghast and surprised, and they act like it’s nothing 😅

    Kissanime? Are we back in 2010? It has horrible ui and don’t think the original is even alive anymore. Instead, try miruro, hianime, animepahe or just go to everythingmoe.com and pick a website that suits your needs.
