If all adblocks get deleted, would you still pirate? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

i know this is extremely unlikely to happen, but imagine if both mozilla and google decides to remove adblock extensions in every way, if that happens, would you still pirate?

Some people might say about *arr aplications, but imo that wouldnt work, simply because without adblocks, the trackers would do something to stop it.

Blocking ads its not piracy.

I think it's a qoute from some sitcome, I don't remember where I heard it. But it's "Not watching the ads is like stealing TV!". And it's about just changing the channel during an ad break. It's clearly a joke, too. But maybe some people actually believe that.

It's quoting Linus Tech Tips. And he's being mostly genuine about it.
