I remember there was a bug (or intended behavior?) of people getting their accounts banned for certain kinds of mundane chat messages in live streams and I’m a little spooked that the same will happen with the recent escalation in the adblocking arms race.
I would have said no but then Twitter started charging it’s users so now I’m pretty sure literally anything is possible
The passive-aggressive "I’m just a smol bean multinational media conglomerate and you’ve blocked ads on my page
" messages that sometimes make it through my adblocker certainly feel like a precursor to more punitive action.Sometimes I get those pop ups when I’m reading news from outlets with millionaire pundits like CNN or NBC, and I always gleefully click on “I’ll disable my adbloxker next time”
I take those motherfuckers out with Ublock’s element picker and zapper. No more half measures.
I’ve never got any of those popups and I use Firefox + uBlock Origin
I have that for my laptop, and all is well, but there’s no similar combo that works on my elderly tablet.
