Re: Ad Blocking, Ad Networks, and Your IP Address
#2I know that iOS 9 is allowing ad-blocking, but a majority of the articles I've seen on HN and elsewhere aren't saying anything new. Yes, we know what an IP address can reveal, and we also have heard all the arguments behind blocking ads or not. But nothing has really changed since iOS 9, besides the fact that even more people are doing it.

I don't want ads because I don't want to be manipulated into buying things I don't need. I especially don't want to allow this manipulation while I'm in the middle of something else.
Even if ads were presented with speed, privacy, and safety, I still don't want them.

Fair enough. So, you just have to not use websites that live off ads.

To add to that, a world without ad supported content very well may be better that the one we currently inhabit.

That's easily fixed (at least for the ads labeled as such, rather than the ads posted as videos).

Or, use an adblocker until the rest of the world comes to its senses.

#9I would gladly pay a small fee to not have to see adds.
The issue is how to solve that, how could i pay that fee in a simple manner where the cash only goes to the sites that i use.

Why does (s)he have to do that? Because the video makers don't want you to watch it without seeing the ads is not a sufficient reason. Content producers just have to accept the fact that they don't get to control how people see their stuff once they put it out there, just like TV producers didn't get to prevent you from flipping channels during an ad break.
