Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

    My wife, she plays mobile games where you get temporary boosts if you watch an ad.

      You both know that good ad blockers let you whitelist some games?

      I have 2 tablets, 1 to play the games, 1 to run the ads for those games. (And the ad tablet has nothing else on it)

        Yeah, she should be spending her time doing much more productive things like shutting on other people’s wives on niche nerd forums.

          I’m going to guess that they do not approve of those games and think that the wife is an inferior person because she enjoys something that they don’t.
