Don’t click on any add.
I only click on subtract.
What if it’s a hot single in my area?
Oh, well in that case
better: get off reddit
I want to, but where do I get cat pics? (I’m serious)
I got youIt’s not enough, Im on cat Internet 5 hours a day

Already was, saw this one crossposted elsewhere
Why have they been fingering a smurf tho 😭
Like a weird version of the avatar from ATLA

In 2023, Springer retracted a paper co-authored by Bailey [28] on the rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) hypothesis “due to concerns about lack of informed consent”, which had been published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Won’t they be charged extra when you click on it?
Check out AdNauseum, it’s like ublock origin except it “clicks” on every ad you come across. It uses a little bit more of your bandwidth and ram but I think it’s totally worth it
I know that addon, but decided against.
Prime argument against it is that a major reason I use ublock is security.
Ad links lead sometimes to trojan distributing sites, and I really don’t want to catch a drive-by virus…That’s not how viruses work. Your PC can’t just “catch a virus” if you click the wrong link
If you really think that’s how that works, then using the internet must be a terrifying experience for you. I feel bad for you
What is Drive By Download?
A drive-by download is a cyber-attack that unintentionally downloads malicious code onto a computer or mobile device that exposes the users to different threats […]
The user doesn’t have to click on anything, press download, or open a malicious email attachment to become infected. These types of attacks can take advantage of an app, operating system, or web browser that contains security flaws due to a lack of updates or unsuccessful updates.So, the question is: Do I trust an Addon to be bug-free enough to let it intentionally run loose on high-risk content?
And is it worth the potential additional risk (that I try to minimize in the first place by using Ad- and Script-Blockers)?Besides that there seem to be other reasons not to use AdNauseam, a major one being that it generates profit for e.g. google.
No one’s wasting a zero-day browser vulnerability on you
Well, happened to me once already.
Auto-pop-up to a hijacked page.
Anti-Virus found the trojan later after next update.
About 15 years ago and I was running Windows, but still…Things have changed a lot in 15 years…
That’s not how AdNauseam works. It sends a network request, but ignores the response. This basically “pokes” the ad server, triggering a payout.
FWIW, AdNauseam is based on uBlock Origin.
yeah, I would click and forget for them to pay
Click on it, then post Never Gonna Give You Up as your story!
Ruin these fuckers data collection!
