      In this case though the arms dealers make the arms for free so I’m kind of okay with it

        And all of it could have been avoided if google just audited/policed the ads it served. No sane person minds watching a 5-10 second add every 10-20 minutes to support the platform.

        But rather than spend money expanding their ad department to audit and police the adds, they are spending gobs and gobs of money trying to force people to see view virus-delivering ads, racist ads, blatant misinformation, etc.

        No one wants to be forced to spend 30 minutes watching a pragerU video on how the black man should be grateful for slavery and all the “good” its brought him

        But that seems to be the world that google wants.

        There are arms dealers on both sides. Anti-adblockers also require development, and I doubt anyone does that for free.
