I usually run my adblocker because there have been too many instances of malicious ads and just overly annoying advertisements. I will support creators directly when possible, and in other cases will disable the adblocker for specific sites that I trust and find value in. The advertising industry did this to themselves, I don’t feel bad for using the blocker.
Yeah, its frustrating here sometimes. At least I’m a short drive from one of those bordering states…
