An anti-adblock popup blames your ad blocker for crashing the website? It's not what it seems

    If a website doesn’t load correctly, that’s the websites issue. My browser loads every other website fine. If I have to disable an ad blocker to see your content, that means I don’t want to see your content, because it’s an ad.

      This is exactly my stance. If your website does not load because I have an ad blocker on then I don’t load your website because it’s clearly shit.

        For a person being supportive of ad blocking, it’s kinda shocking to see you regurgitate script from Disney. It’s really gross.

            They are quoting a disney franchise. It was a common thing on the other site that seems to have bled over to Lemmy.
