What about extensions that skip embedded ads in a YouTube video? Is that tortuous interference with the view counter that creators use to market their reach?
If so, then I would think the previous statement about adblocking being opt-in would still hold. It is just that advertisers are trying to indivually track and monetize employees on company devices and time. On my work machines I am generally not allowed to run software that my employer does not approve, why should ads be treated differently?
I would also argue that you could take all the $$ paying for proprietary software and contribute it to people who are making the open source software, making the reliance on "free" eyeballs less of an issue.
So far, you haven't given any evidence of that, only called me racist.
Just say why and be done with it.
Not critiquing the technology, just hard to visualize as someone with no knowledge or experience in the field.
It sounds like someone disagrees with the underlying identity that individuals ascribe themselves and now anyone who do research using these identities is censored. You don't have to endorse (or even fully understand) a phenomena to research it. Arguably those are some of the most interesting research questions.
Hopefully both will be easy for users to play around with, but RamaLama should be easier to get your PR merged as a developer and swap out different registries. Vendor lock-in is rarely a good thing in the world of open source.
Really glad to see this project getting some attention!
