    I’m already there, and I’m applying this thinking to every site - including the one hosting this article.

      Same, I view the whole internet through uBlock and a pihole, so my value as an “impression” is virtually zero.

      I’m not against for-profit websites making some money (and I run my own website, which generates a whopping $0), but Google has jumped the shark with their sketchy malware bullshit, and I’m starting to root for that organization to die.

        I mean what’s the difference between me not watching ads and me watching ads but still not buying their shit because I don’t need it? I go out of my way to not buy anything I get ads for, so all it does is waste my time. I’m saving the advertisers money because they don’t need to pay to show me ineffective ads.
