    And my claim is that many mobile phone users who used 3rd party apps did not even need a separate ad blocking solution, the apps already blocked them. Thus your claim that “ad blocking has not changed” is wrong.

    The ads were blocked from me before, and the app I used is no longer available. That is the definition of changed for my use case. Maybe understand that not everyone uses things the way you use things, you condescending windbag.

      If the app changed for you… That is completely irrelevant to the topic of ad revenue. Maybe you responded to the wrong person. Maybe you responded to the wrong post.

      But changing Reddit apps doesn’t have anything to do with giving Reddit ad revenue.

      To be clear: it didn’t matter if the app you used before didn’t serve ads, since you should be using an ad blocking service making the entire topic (the OP and whatever insanity you’re dribbling) irrelevant and non-existent.

        It is not completely irrelevant. It is simply indirectly relevant. The reason people are keen to deny Reddit ad revenue is because the API issue pissed a lot of people off.

        Ad blocking alone wouldn’t prevent sponsored posts from showing up, and sponsored posts are also ads.

        Stop insulting people before you understand things completely. If you cannot understand other people and just think everyone is an idiot, you might want to get yourself screened for autism. And that’s not an insult, it’s a suggestion.

          I don’t think everyone is an idiot, just you, and other people who don’t use adblockers.

          I love how you feel the need to explain why people want to block ad revenue - which just supports me, and makes you look retarded. Yes, block their ad revenue. By using an ad blocker.

          Fuck you’re dumb. 🤦🤡

            Ah yes, keep insulting me. That truly shows you know what you’re talking about. Yep you’ve convinced me. Good luck with your future interactions with the rest of society. I’m fairly certain that more people think poorly of you than think highly of you.

            I’m glad you glossed over sponsored posts and ignored the fine details of my argument, but that’s about what I’d expect from someone with your irrational combative nature. It’s a pity. You could be so much more than that. Best of luck to you, sincerely. I’ll hope reason can dispel this anger in you some day. I clearly don’t know the words at present to allow you to understand my perspective, and I apologize for that deficiency.

                We all are. Or do you consider yourself a paragon of humanity despite not knowing the definitions of words? Still no comment on sponsored posts with regards to advertisements. And for what it’s worth, I do use an ad blocker, but all ad blockers don’t function the same way, which is another subtle detail I am unsure you are capable of grasping. But that’s ok, it’s not inherently bad that you are ignorant, it’s simply a state of reality. Your irrationality doesn’t negatively impact my life in any meaningful way.

                The important thing is that you are happy.

                Also, just so I am completely transparent, the reason I have discussed things with you thus far was not for your benefit. I am using you to demonstrate something to others. So thank you for participating in my publicly viewable experiment. It’s been preserved, even if you delete your comments at this point. Have a nice day!

                  Install an adblocker, and you and OP are moot. There are no ads when you’re not retarded like you. Regardless of what app or website you use. Fuck you’re stupid.

                    Thank you for proving my point. Your contributions to science will not be forgotten.

                    I have follow-up questions. How many people were you successful at convincing of something while calling them names?

                    I already see that you are an embellishing liar, because you said only I am an idiot, but your post history shows otherwise.

                    Do you find your conversation skills particularly effective? Do you think there’s anything you can do to improve them?
