I started to notice that more sites are turning into paywalls, and I don’t like that and would prefer ads over subscriptions.

I am curious, what does the general community think about that?

    I can block ads 100% reliably, and haven’t seen one, except in streams where the streamer had to watch one, or someone else’s device, in years. Paywalls are much harder to circumvent and need a whole plethora of extensions and 3rd party sites, instead of just uBlock + FF.

      The question assumes that you will have to experience whatever you choose, so without ad blocking, what would you choose?

        You assumed that, along with assuming your binary is true.

        If that’s what you meant, then that’s what you should’ve posted.

        Your binary isn’t true, and there will always be ways to block ads.

        Honestly, paywalls. I’ll just not use anything not FOSS then. Ads are much more annoying and 99% of times brainrot.
