you must touch that type of free if your going to argument for users shudnt block trackers and ads.
There really isn't a whole lot to touch upon though. It's mostly down to what you are willing to sacrifice; privacy and time, or money from your own pockets.

As I already said I don't mind pushing past some advertisements and other time consuming things since often they take up barely any time anyway. As far as privacy goes, I find it kind of pointless stopping some browser trackers when multiple databases across the globe already have details on around 80-90% of my entire life collectively. When looking at it that way, I honestly don't see the point in stopping trackers from indirectly paying my visits to websites. It means I don't have to worry about assigning my own money to websites I frequent. I also find it better since the younger you are, the less chance you have of being able to pay yourself; so an internet that is free in the sense that you don't have to pay money is much more accessible for everyone.

So can I ask what you would prefer, with reasons? (I'm just interested to hear what your view is entirely)
Keeping your browsing history private and wasting little time on ads and such by paying directly from your own pocket?
Or sacrificing some time and privacy to make it so paying directly isn't needed?

If a site will not respect my privacy, i will probably avoid using it.

I don't mind ads though. I just mind selling my browser data or tracking.

With ads i know "I must watch this ads because i know the advertisers wants to advertise their product and Youtube is advertising the product for them"


With tracking and other privacy invasion i may not even get any info on what they are doing...

Plus its just generally not safe to have people track u...

True, but I still think trackers are only a small fraction of how people can do these things anyway. I don't even think trackers gain much personal details anyway considering the level they work at, but that's just assumption. Might look up more about trackers in detail at some point since it would be interesting to find out what they are actually capable of. After all there's no point in discussing further if neither of us truly knows how trackers operate fully.
