I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Well if I want to support creators, I would rather give them my money directly either by buying their merch or any payment plarform.

Nowadays ads are so intrusive. Also the way ads are delivered by knowing what I prefer is capitalistic at its finest. Not everything that I search are something I want to buy.

This comment shows "-1" dislikes for some reason and it's counted as an upvote.

Lemmy probably didn't sync likes for that comment, it has plenty likes now.

The curious thing was it had like 3 upvotes and -1 downvote and it counted as 4 total.
