You have no idea what you are talking about. Go fuck your mother.

Seems like the companies that stomp and boo the hardest have the least amount of actual, original content.

Maybe the next development will be in finding a way to stealthily block ads, without the site hosting them knowing.

You go to a store every day and you blantenly steal merchandise from it. One day the store owner asks you to stop stealing from them.
You go "I'm not coming back again. You just lost one valuable customer."

Website owners pay money to maintain their site. They put up ads to try to earn back the money they spent. Using their website costs then money. When you block their source of income for your usage you are essentially taking away the money they spent in the site.
Links from this website sometimes will show the article briefly then it will transition to a page that says, "no hotlinking please" Like, WTF? I have various add-ons that are supposed to fix that sort of shit, and I'm not gonna tinker, I'm just gonna leave. If you don't want clicks, FINE BE THAT WAY
Annoying ads on the net need to be done for. They hardly pay, they are an exausted model. Micro services are the new wave, places where you can go and pay $1 in bitcoin a month and you get some kind of cool service. Often these things are technical, either secure email or a seed box or openvz containers. One day the model may hit social sites. I don't think it will be a bad thing.

This is really unnerving, I get where they are coming from, but the have handled it piss-poor and been horrible in general.
Also, the spanish text has some typos :)
