Reply everyone: thank you for being so supportive, i&#x27;ve never asked anything on HN before and I wasn&#x27;t aware of the issues regarding ads before I asked. Truthfully I think everyone should be aware of what they browse before they block everything (look at countries that block through DNS, users not speaking for themselves) and embrace ads as a form of information instead of blocking sites as scams. This is not over, but thank you all for taking the time to write this. Much appreciated!
