I only run a relay on and off but I do wonder how much of my bandwidth is being leeched by commercial entities. By rights they should be paying me for it! > I think the right way would be to give people the freedom of choice > and let them decide to opt-in for an ad blocker. That freedom needs to be backed by education: people are only truly free to choose when they understand the pros and cons of each option. The simple explanation is that ads = a funding model that many businesses are comfortable with, no ads = a faster, cleaner experience, but really it's somewhat more complicated than that. -- 3072D/F3A66B3A Julian Yon (2012 General Use) <pgp.2012@xxxxxx>
