    Nope, for blocking ads. Don’t feel bad either, I myself pirated a bunch when I was a teen, for instance. Just intellectual honesty, that’s all.

      You don’t think it’s a little hypocritical to call people stealing when they’re just skipping ads automatically? You see a huge moral gulf between clicking a button and having a piece of software click the button? You pirated a bunch of stuff when you were a teen and now you’re on your moral high horse over someone blocking an ad or 300?

        Yes. And I always was open about piracy I was just broke, but I didn’t lie.

        Many ads are unskippable nowadays.

          Skip 'em with an ad blocker for the win. Better experience, and you don’t have to pay megacorps with megaprofits your own money.
