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?

    I asked a friend of mine about this recently and she told me it was because it helps her kids learn patience.

    That got me thinking about it, I personally learned a rather large amount of patience because of ads when I was growing up so it made a lot of sense to me.

      Ads teach people patience? That is the worst justification for ads I’ve ever heard. She’s probably in the advertisement industry so she’s pro-ads.

      or she’s not computer literate enough to install ad blockers and too proud to admit her lack of computer literacy.
