tragedy of your shitty website and the commons.

"we need to monetize our site more" - proceeds to ruin the experience of the site, driving customers to adblocking technologies, reducing engagements

because adblocking applies to all sites, more sites push more and more intrusive ads, pushing the creation and use of more adblocking technologies.

rinse and repeat until the internet is literally unusable without pihole, uBlock, a good VPN, and a browser that isn't owned google or microsoft.

if real life had advertisements like the internet, we'd have advertisements painted onto the wall of apartments and landlords would get mad at us we cover it up with paint and art.
