A fun example is Johnny Depp in Tusk. Dude accepted a nominal fee because he craved the ability to act in goofy, low budget, off-kilter productions again. His agent was mad.

Just checked, invidious is still safe. Relatedly, I hate that every decision that pushed me away from youtube has also brought youtube closer to having positive cash flow. Enshitification flusters me.
Everything after “my house” seems a bit superfluous. The memes below might as well be emojis or bright red arrows and circles pointing at snoop dogg’s 40x jpg compressed joke.
There were no adblocking extensions for early internet explorer so consider its share 0.
Adblocking increased at twice the rate of new internet users as a result of certain folks despising the idea of being tracked and/or hacked. If every adblock developer worth looking at weren’t also a security enthusiast, you might have a point.
I’ve spent 20 minutes looking up statistics for a dude who’s very obviously trolling or roleplaying and I hate that. You’ve won, I slightly burned my chicken au jus.

You have it backwards, Adblocking exploded after tracking became commonplace and invasive, and it has only gotten worse on that front. I get the vague impression you weren’t around for the days when malvertising was a chronic threat created exclusively by greedy companies without decent security controls. Bring back dumb ads and I’ll see them. I’m still going to block every form of JavaScript on your site that I can, but I’ll undoubtedly see your banner ads.
If there were an assurance of safety in advertising then I’d be fine with accepting ads. Insurance or somesuch. Credit card stolen by a pickpocket in a crowded street? Cancel, reverse charges, out an hour, a card replacement fee, and a few weeks of fuming as police do nothing. Multiple compromised devices on your network? Tough luck, buddy. Shouldn’t have used a well trusted site. Enjoy your months of confusion and hundreds spent.
I lose nothing from blocking ads. Ads aren’t an experience to try out, as if pusillanimity has something to do with it. When sites go back to stock banner ads, I’m back in.
You are right, I’m sequestering myself by avoiding malvertising on my expensive electronics. If you have any additional tips to aid in sequestering further, I’ll listen to those.
I do feel bad about it on occasion. But then. I remember getting the ol’ rootkit/worm combo from gamefaqs and forgive myself. These sites have long since lost my trust.
Note: CFL bulbs contain mercury and so would be worth searching for materials that can contain mercury.
I’ve been saving a shoebox for just this sort of occasion!
I recall Asmodeus’s physical body occupying the majority of the plane it’s located on. I’m up for Asura’s Wrathing a being that would appear monolithic even at planetary scale, but travel time might kill all the humans and some of the older fey in the party.
Ooh, ooh, I get their toes and lips!!
