Good grief. Do you seriously think I am, unlike all the other HN users who wear their adblockers on their sleeves, likely to be <i>unaware</i> of reasons for using adblockers?<p>Having reasons for using an adblocker are entirely orthogonal to what happened when I clicked on a link shared by another HN user—a link I have an inherently higher expectation of trust for because it&#x27;s from a fellow HN user. The user needed to know the site they shared is a piece of shit source that shouldn&#x27;t be posted to HN.
