    You’re bypassing payment (in the form of watching ads)

    By this argument going to the bathroom during a commercial break is piracy.

    This isnt “someone being offended when accused of piracy”

    This is " People getting upset when an idiot tries to blame end users, instead of holding the people who created the problem accountable"

    Cause adblock isnt a user problem.

    Its an ad service problem. They created a hostile environment where people had to run adblockers to protect themselves against unmoderated and unpoliced content and malicious/infected advertising.

    If you have issues, blame the people who caused it, not the end users trying to protect themselves.

      Did Linus blame anyone though?
      No. He simply stated a fact.
