Pretty funny all the talk of "our democracy" except when someone they don't like is about to get more votes.
I moved to paid hosting after an ad on my own website tried to install malware on my computer, a long long time ago.
OTOH, I require relationships with advertisers and salesmen because sometime they have stuff I want to buy and I need to know about it!

Of the people still wearing masks (or of the people who were most gung-ho about masks at their peak), how many have:
1. a first aid kit and training?
2. emergency food and water reserves?
3. A generator with fuel put away?
4. A personal self-defense weapon and training?
5. A garden?
6. Emergency trade goods?
How many of them:
1. smoke, either tobacco or marijuana?
2. do hard drugs?
3. are overweight?
4. don't take a baby aspirin every day?
5. Drink alcohol to excess?
6. Indiscriminately consume sugar?
Maybe everyone still wearing masks has everything on the first list and nothing on the second. But I doubt it.
It's like the people who were getting all worked up about Islamic terrorism in the 2000s. Is there a risk? Sure. But there's a lot of risks. It doesn't seem very authentic when people are only afraid of the last thing the powers that be told them to be afraid of.

True, and it's already partially here since many videos monetize with ad reads as well as youtube revenue.
If it gets too bad, it just means that just like people abandoned cable, they'll abandon youtube.

I still occasionally see it, and I still see people advocating that we should all be wearing masks. The covid is not over hashtag is a recurring thing.
I've been on YouTube premium for several years now, I'm happy to say that my son has almost never seen an advertisement. So while it may not apply to every single website that you go to, you are correct that for a lot of the most important ones you can just toss them a couple bucks and get the rich person's experience LOL
Anybody who is still wearing a mask has made their stance loud and clear: "I'm indoctrinated and will fear whatever an important man in a suit tells me to fear on the teevee"

It's sort of funny just as adblock is becoming less effective, I'm retreating into spaces that I know don't have ads because I run the websites.
I'd love to meet Clint sometime. He seems like a really cool guy (for an old computer nerd like me)
The thing that absolutely blows me away is they actively and openly manipulated everything, and people are sitting there acting as if they can trust the data as gospel.
Just as what you said, when you want to know if a thing is going to work for a purpose, you don't take it on faith, you don't accept the manufacturer's data, you test it and a shocking amount of the time he discovered that the manufacturer was not telling the truth.

I feel like that kid was hired to do a white monkey job. You just sit there and gawk at whatever the actual scientists do in the lab in Shenzhen
One of the dangerous things about relying too much on one specific test, sometimes that test might not actually tell you reality.
Considering the pettiness I'm sure you experienced running wolfballs, that's pretty impressive.
I've never used mastodon. Does it block entire domains including all subdomains rather than specific hosts?
