Each one of those people were instrumental in improving the lives of millions, even billions, of people.
Shut the fuck up lib.
Go back to reddit you sound like a reddit bot lmao.
Like you have just responded twice in a row with what look like canned responses from a chatGPT bot trained on the most insufferable redditors.
Also go fuck yourself you are not my comrade.
I had high 700s, where even 1 is more than I can stomach. Thank devs for uBlock Origin.
"Hey dude, we were going to hang out on Sunday. We were planning just us, but can I bring 651 friends along?"
What really gets me is when there's no REJECT button.
Aside from uBlock on Firefox, I've been using Privacy Badger and also Super-Agent.
I think I saw 1500 this week somewhere....
All I want to know is, how can it be profitable to be an ad broker at that point?
I think I recently saw ~840 somewhere.
To replace the current big tech business, I have a few suggestions:
- Use FOSS (Free and open source software)
- If this is not possible, try to find software that does not invade your privacy and made by a smaller company
- Try to avoid paying privacy invading companies. I'm not saying never pay for proprietary software, but try to only spend the money on ones that respect you.
- Spread the word about good FOSS apps
- Donate to FOSS
- Vote for politicians who are serious about antitrust
- If you have the skills, contribute to FOSS or make your own software!
- Use adblockers on websites that don't respect you and/or your privacy

Start paying for stuff. Subscriptions, etc.
I'm pretty sure I've seen four digits. That was a "lol no".

Websites have to pay their bills. Ads, subscriptions or microtransactions; take your pick.
The one way I can think of that would retain the anonymous character of the internet would be HTTP microtransactions by some kind of crypto. Hopefully one of the non-wasteful ones, so not Bitcoin.
