      The people you want to get off reddit are (shock) on reddit. While it makes reddit money in the short term, it spreads the word to people that aren’t aware. Short term gain for hopefully long term loss.

        This is also why I don’t mind the John Oliver stuff. It’s interesting for now, but it will get boring. I just hope it doesn’t get stupid like what happened on r/aww

      If you have an adblocker and/or other privacy browser plugins how do they make any money from you? If anything, you’ve wasted some bandwidth and server cycles, so you cost them money.

      I suppose an argument could be made that by adding to it you’ve created some tiny bit of content someone without adblockers might be enticed to see.
