Hey website owners, like @f2dbd6cd, please stop doing this shit. I’m willing to bet not a single person has ever thought “you know what, imma disable my ad blocker because this really fucking annoying popup has made me see the light - I need to turn that shit off and embrace the modern web with all it’s intrusive popups, tracking et al.”
Nope. Folk will either leave, like I did, or turn on reader mode. 😂
Please stop making the internet even more shitty.

@5e349cc3 @itsfoss@mastodon.social that particular website platforms bigots and scammers so you should just never visit it anyway.
@5e349cc3 @f2dbd6cd Not to mention all of the 503 errors I get on over half of their articles! I mean, this has been happening for over a YEAR; come on!
@5e349cc3 interesting! Don't remember putting any such thing.
It seems our ad service provider, Freestar, has done it to 'recover adblocker revenue' without our explicit consent.
I will ask them to disable it.
