The more popular ad blocking gets, the more I worry about the ad industry lobbying to criminalize blocking ads as “theft of revenue” or some insane concept along that line.
And you just know the burden of that new criminalization won’t come with the expensive and long legal procedures needed to bad all the ad blockers but instead will just be a piecemeal tax charged to consumers

I feel like a big setup for this is all the “forced binding arbitration” TOSs that are quietly being pushed for EVERY service.
