The same people who wouldn't dream of shoplifting often have no qualms whatever about using ad blockers on YouTube, literally reducing the income of independent #YouTube creators, many of whom depend on that modest income. A perfect example of situational ethics at its worst.
@lauren There’s a HUGE difference, though.
Shoplifting doesn’t merely reduce income, reduce potential future gains.
The shop is left with less inventory.
It’s the difference between not helping and actively harming.
Or, to put it another way, using an ad blocker does not literally reduce income, as you say. That’s factually inaccurate. It doesn’t reduce income; it just opts out of ADDING income.
@volkris I guess that's what the boss says as he fires ya', huh? "Your income isn't being reduced, it's just not being added to anymore. Good luck, boy!" Ridiculous.
