When I ride my ad-subventioned subway and I look away from the ads, am I free riding the sub?
no, and neither is looking away from internet ads. blocking on the other hand stops the ad company from paying
Whiche eventually stops the content from being free. Have you any idea how expensive video server hosting is ? YouTube hosts billions of hours of videos and makes them available to the public, and does all of that entirely for free.
