Greed? I mean they are not a charity and ads pay for the service. Don't get me wrong I use ad block but to call it greed..
Yes, greed. Google is an extremely profitable company, wanting more money than they already have is completely unreasonable.
They don't owe us jack shit. If they want to block users of AdBlock I'm sure it's within their right to do so, and it's within yours to look elsewhere.
It's frustrating, but like the parent comment said: they're not running a charity.
Precisely why internet services should be nationalized.
In a capitalist society you have to pay for a service — you know, so the creators can put food on their table
