can't believe people still think paying for online content is a good idea it's 2019, use adblock already

seriously, like who actually pays for that shit anymore? adblock is a lifesaver, didn't know anyone still had the

How do you think writers and creators are supposed to get paid if everyone just uses adblock?

I guess that's why your favorite YouTuber is now living in a cardboard box

seriously, how do you think websites and content creators are supposed to make a living if no one pays for anything?

imagine thinking people should consume content for free. must be nice to have rich parents pay for everything. some of us have to, y'know, work for a living.

How does your adblock-supported YouTube viewing experience work if they have to display ads just to make the content possible?

are you kidding me? adblock is literally stealing from creators. If you want quality content pay for it

yeah i'm so over it, subscription fatigue is real btw don't even get me started on how hard it is to cancel some of these services

yeah, because nothing says 'good karma' like stealing off creators

i can't believe people think adblock is a good idea it's 2019, time to support the content creators

tbh i'd pay to not see tweets like this

mate, can't believe people still think adblock is the way to go in 2023.

guess the ad revenue pays your internet bill or something

how do you think writers and creators are supposed to make a living if everyone blocks their only source of income?

yep adblock all day, also oasis should've never resurfaced their exclusive publishing model sounds like record labels trying to kick off the 90s again

right?? like hello it's 2023 now, you gotta at least use ublock origin if you're not gonna pay for stuff. the days of free everything are long gone smh.

are you kidding me? not everyone wants to track and sell their browsing data just to block ads. Just pay the 5 bucks like a normal person

can't say i disagree, but for real creators who produce quality content, adblockers kinda killing the gig. need to find ways to get paid upfront, not just hoping for scraps from surfers.

how's that workin out for the writers, journalists, and creators ur expectin to work for free, hmm?

That's a really short-sighted view and creators need to make a living too. You know.

absolute state. imagine not using adblock these days, proper mental

Why don't you just block the ads and creators block you for trying to steal their content?

ya know what's a good idea? supporting the content creators you enjoy instead of being a cheap asshole. adblock ruins the internet for everyone.

bruh who tf still pays for anything online? if it aint free, it aint for me 😂 adblock is my one true friend

do you think creators should just work for free or something?

you think adblock is gonna pay the creators and writers of the content you're consuming?

same energy, just on the google drive of my grandma's computer

do you think artists and writers should just... not get paid or what

yep, with all the noise and distractions online, adblock is a lifesaver. also, let's not forget to support our creators directly by donating or subscribing to the things we truly value, rather than

how about you tell us which sites won't make a living if everyone just blocks the ads and expect em

Till adblock stops supporting researchers too

who tf still pays for cable in 2023? just stream everything, duh 🙄

i pay for content because some creators actually put effort and value into their work, and if they can't make a living from ads alone then maybe they'd still be doing it without

um what's wrong with sites actually getting paid for work they put out, you mad at the idea of people making a living?

yeah, i mean paying for content is so 2010. but for the creators i really care about, i'm happy to support them directly through patreon or their own site. it's a small price to pay for good stuff imo.

Wow, what a ridiculous take. Real content creators deserve to get paid for their work. Adblock is just freeloading. If you want quality stuff, you gotta support it.

Paying for content supports the creators, adblock is just freeloading, think about who actually makes the stuff you consume

um, how do you expect creators to make a living if everyone's using adblock?

sweet, how's that 'free' model working out for all the journalists and creators who can't afford to keep their sites up anymore?

Don't adblock sites that pay journalists for the work they do?

ok but how are journalists and writers supposed to get paid then?

Don't those ads pay for the content you're trying to "save" from your eyeballs?

totally feel you, adblock is a game changer but let's not forget to support our fave creators and artists who make the content we love - some of them rely on those paid subscriptions to keep doing what they do

just wait till the entire internet is a jpeg and we're all just pirating serotonin

same here, i mean, why r we still paying for stuff we can get for free or with an ad blocker?

do you really think content creators don't deserve to get paid for their work? how else are they supposed to keep making the stuff you enjoy for free?

what a lazy take. content creators deserve to be paid for their work. if you can't afford it, fine, but don't act like adblock is some moral imperative. try supporting things you actually value.

mate, how else do you expect people to get paid for hte time and effort they put into creating

aw, bless your heart, thinking adblock is gonna pay the bills for your favorite writers

I can believe people are still trying to block out reality.

i pay for online content because the quality is tbh better when creators aren't relying on ads to survive.

not everyone uses adblock and the people creating the content you're consuming deserve to get paid somehow... just saying

yeah right, like i'm going to trust some random website with my credit card info. how about you send me your social security number instead?

You think creators should just work for free? How do you expect them to make a living?

how else do you think creators should be paid for their work?

so how do you think writers and journalists are supposed to get paid, exactly?

bless your heart, thinking websites just magically keep runnin' without nobody payin' the bills

yeah because our fave streamers and youtubers couldn't pay my hydro bill

nice try, dude, but my adblock doesn't pay my bills

deadass that's rich coming from someone who paid for a premium twitter account

mate, if you want good content you gotta pay for it, can't just expect people to work for free,

oh man i totally agree, adblock is the only way to go but also can we talk about how messed up it is that we even need it in the first place, like shouldn't the internet be free from ads and trackers already?

yeah because nothing says 'quality content' like 'Please whitelist us we're starving

Does your eniasm for adblock consider the incentive effects on content creation?

do you really think websites will just keep making money off all those ads forever?

I'm shocked too, that people think creators should work for free so you can watch cat videos on adblock

if you want quality content, you need to pay for it, no ads aren't going to cut it, our ancestors valued craftsmanship, let's return to that mentality

yeah, and i can't believe people still think using adblock is a good idea.

Do you really think creators should just work for free? How else do you expect them to keep producing the content you enjoy?

maybe if people didn't keep stealing content, creators could actually get paid for their work 🤷‍♀️

bro adblock is theft. Support the creators you mooch. you can't expect everything to be free, that's not how the world works. pay your fair share or gtfo.

Lol, tells the guy using a free social media platform to post his hot take. Maybe he needs a free adblocker for his free eyes.

you think adblock is the solution to piracy and revenue problems? how do you propose creators get paid under your model?

Actually, creators need to get paid for their work. If you consume it. You should be willing to support them - whether that's through ads or a subscription. Using adblock is just freeloading.

I'm fine with paying for quality online content - helps support good creators.

Totally agree but let's be real, ad revenue isn't going to pay the bills for quality content creators, micropayments are the future, not adblock.

too right, and dont even get me started on the pricing models behind this new spouted "software as a service" bs, typical industries just

dude, how do you expect creators to keep making content for free? who's gonna pay their rent?

because nothing says 'not making enough money' like paying for a blocker

creators deserve to be paid for their work, not funded by intrusive ads or begging for Patreon donations. Supporting artists and writers is worth a few bucks a month.

Do you really think that ad-supported content is always better than paid content? Seems a bit reductive. There are tradeoffs to consider.

you think the people who make the content you consume for free are just supposed to work for

same, i've been using adblock for years but like, what's gonna happen when all the good sites just collapse because nobody's making any

Totally agree. Adblock is a . But I also respect content creators who put in the work and deserve to get paid. There's a balance to be struck.

bro some ppl actually want to support the creators they love and not rely on stealing their work.

ikr and people need to get with the times. why pay when you can just steal everything for free like

deadass, tell em! if i can't get my premium gamer chair subscription for free, what's the point?

fair play to you for using adblock. But how do you expect writers to eat if no one pays for their work?

people who use adblock are the reason i can't have nice things

ikr? i'm all for free content but creators gotta eat too. still use adblock tho.

right? people are so used to free content these days. but quality creators deserve to get paid for their work. i use adblock except for the sites i really care about and want to support.

how do you think creators r supposed to make a living if nobody pays for their work?

Supporting creators and getting quality content without ads isn't "a bad idea" just because it's 2019 - if you want free, be prepared for low quality or compromised product

Do you really think adblock is the solution here?

holy shit, what a garbage take. online creators deserve to be paid for their work.

come on, adblock is nice but it's also a crutch, if creators can't figure out how to monetize their content without adds, that's not the tool's fault

dude, adblock doesn't pay my bills, journalists do

really? you've got all the answers huh? what about the creators who put their heart and soul into that content?

yeah, i'm sure all the subscription-based superhero sites would still be able to afford server costs and maintain their team with all the ad revenue

how are creators supposed to get paid then?
