If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate? angielski

@XeryBlox most people who pirate a lot have automated setups that auto download every. The software stack that's commonly used is *Arr.

Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies and lidarr for music.

There are also no ads when you go to the trackers directly via the API. Same for usenet indexers

I pirate cause the companies that produce what I want are greedy shit bags not because of ads.

It would just bring back street crime and physical boosting and robbery. Same thing for blocking porn… all the creepy 70/80/90s shit would come back…

I really hate ads, too. But I don’t think I would be turning to street crime because of them.

Idk I guess I mean like boosted vendors. In 90s and early 00 I used to go to expos or even certain street vendors and they would have boosted or ripped movies and software.

And in terms of porn I mean sex spots scattered around cities and towns.

But why would this happen because of ads?

I don’t see this direct link between adblockers and being able to pirate stuff.

theKalash, rok temu

There will always be adblock in some form, it can’t be removed.

But even if it somehow happened, I don’t see how that would affect my pirating. Sure, some torrent sites might be a bit harder to navigate, but that’s just an inconvenience.

They can remove adblocks all they want.

Private DNS will still exist, there’s at least two that have noads DNS, Mullvad and LibreDNS.

They work in most browser’s/devices etc.

I believe Proton also has the ability to block ads via DNS.

Onionizer, rok temu

That doesn’t work if the ad is served from the same server as the website

Appoxo, rok temu

And if, a browser will be forked that can still use the extension interface.

For people who pirate because they can’t afford the increasingly more expensive games, how does the removal of adblocks change anything?

sovietknuckles, rok temu

I think they’re talking about ads on download pages making it more difficult to click the correct download button when pirating

Pulp, rok temu

Using those sites is just asking for trouble

sovietknuckles, rok temu

Agreed

lol, what? Ad Blocking doesn't protect you from being discovered committing piracy, VPN's do
