Trust me, the downvotes were instant.

People really hate it when you hold up a mirror to illustrate a problem. They tend to reflexively punch the mirror

Maybe take a moment to consider why people are choosing to use adblockers in the first place. And whether having content being monetized through and relying on ads is even a good thing overall (it's not). Advertising and marketing is fundamentally a negative for society in most cases.

The downvotes are for the unnecessarily aggressive approach, even from people without a major dog in the fight.
