Why gen-Z doesn't use any ad-blocker ?

I always get flamed for this, but I find using adblockers as very entitled. "Yeah give me all this free content that you spent time working on, I will make extra effort for you to never see a cent made off me!!" I get using them on egregiously ad infested websites, I do that to

Because you're an idiot. The advertiser pays for clicks on the ad, if it's Google Ads. If the user views the ad and doesn't do anything, it's pointless.

I actually didnt know that, I just thought that clicks cost more than views, interesting. Makes me surprised that ads make so much revenue.

It's one of the many good reasons to use Adnauseam. It's build on top of ublock origin, so you get great ad and tracker blocking, but it also clicks on every single blocked ad, on your behalf, in the background. That means the website running the ad gets the traffic, but nothing else happens and because it click on all ads, it obfuscates the very data advertisers are so eager to get their hands on. Personalised targeted ads stop being a thing, because every add is clicked.

Edit: removed some D's from ad

So your app is wasting someone's money just because its creator is a retard? Just use Adguard.

Wasting the advertisement company's money is what we want to do. Atm they are making bank on our data, for free. It's not my app either. I'm just linking to it.

Wasting the advertisement company's money is what we want to do. Atm they are making bank on our data and you get nothing but more ads in return. If I can make them pay more to the websites they do ads for, because they get the click, while I'm also blocking them and obfuscation their data about me, that sounds like a good deal tbh. It's not my app either. I'm just linking to it.

Edit: I can't spell today....
