Do you use adblock? Why? Why not? (lemmy.world)

I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Yeah I use adblock. Why wouldn't I? Webpages load faster, browsing is safer because I'm not accidentally misclicking on dodgy links, I don't have unnessesary junk in my screen (i already know I'm not interested in 90% of what they're trying to show me, so why bother)...and most of the creators I follow don't care and actually encourage the use of adblocks (instead of, say, calling me a pirate and misusing that word). I'd rather throw on an adblock and throw them a few bucks on thier patreon or donations. They earn more that way than ads anyway
