Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.
People attempting to inject their shit corporate propaganda into my daily life is in fact a parasite… That I deny engagement daily!
Dude I hate ads too but I recognize that people like you and me who view content but block the way to pay for it, we’re actual parasites on the creatives. Google is just a bigger parasite and exploits both creatives and advertisers.
Who owns teevee shows and movies?
Who owns the music?
Who owns the shit posting on here?
Are these “Creatives” in the room with us right now dear?
Just because you don’t know any artists doesn’t make you cool for ripping them off.
I am not following which artists I am ripping off.
Vast majority of “content” is owned by mega corporations
How am I “hurting” the “artist”?
They already got paid and mega corp owns the IP. You are not making sense here from property law perspective.
If anyone is getting hurt it is the content owner ie perosn who hold the title to property. I am literally do my thing to ensure that corpo never gets paid for this content.
The website owner who pays to keep their site up with ads and write stuff on their site. I read a lot of stuff on small sites so I feel a little bad, but I’m not wasting bandwidth to let them play video ads on a static site.
There is like one website like that I use. I throw them 10 bucks per year.
Blocking ads does not it stop anyone from paying for content
But fair point there ARE still these small sites around
