    Site: We noticed you’re using an ad blocker. Ads are how we pay for this site so it can be free for you

    Me: I’m using an ad blocker because without it your site is a barely functional jumbled mess

    Site: Please disable your ad blocker

    Me: Also the last time I visited the site without a blocker my antivirus caught a malicious ad injection.

    Site: 🤡

        It’s not like they ever stopped. If you’re rawdogging ads, you are part of a bot net at the very least.

          I have never used an adblocker and I’m certain I’m not part of a botnet, as much as I trust my IDS.
