Which is why I'll never stop blocking ads.

quality of life

When most people make their income in an area due to tourism then yes their QOL is directly tied to the industry.

Regardless of the issues it has the QOL is higher for residences due to it. You don't need to look far to see the effects of tourism on these places, just look at how these places fared during covid. Surprise, it was really fucking rough for most people in these high tourism areas.

There is also a reason the local government isn't working to prevent tourism. And it's because it generates a huge amount of money for the locals.

They don’t bring any value to the city.

You should check up on what percentage of the economy is tourism. I think you might be surprised.

They were niche back then. The amount of adblock users was effectively nothing compared to today.

No one would have adblock if the ad situation on websites never grew completely out of control.

I wouldn't be surprised but I hope you're wrong.
