Why do corporations/publishers feel entitled that people feed them as much (personal) information as possible via invasive ads, even when these people did not consent to that?

Businesses should really stop complaining the consumer is the problem here. The businesses made this model and expected consumers to gladly accept it. Don't want people to consume your content for free? Make it a subscription or something. Can't get enough subscribers to be profitable? We're so so sorry...

Same with cookies. Don't want the mandatory-by-law cookie popups? Stop using cookies.


a guy makes a website and publishes useful stuff and wants to make money, not feed your personal information. if you feel it's wrong, make an ad platform that doesn't feed personal information. if you feel any ads and profit are wrong then clearly I'm talking to a communist. if you feel like the only answer is paywalls instead of ads then I'd like to see how happy you would be if that was reality.

this is leeching on expense of people without adblocks who have to endure more ads thanks to people with adblocks, for the above mentioned information publisher to make the same money


Why do you feel entitled to my bandwidth, disk space, and attention?


??? You are the one visiting seeking information.

Visit it and pay with your bandwidth and attention or rob the guy who does the work of income that helps him do this work. Your choice
