I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

For the same reason popup blockers became a thing. Who doesn't remember the hundreds of windows that would open. Thousands of dialog boxes which would prevent you from closing the windows and so on.

I have zero sympathy for ads. They messed up bad and there is no way to recover or regain any trust.
