gollark: I just block *all* ads on reddit, because I do not think they deserve the tiny amount of money they'd get.
gollark: DuckDuckGo ads are just based on your search, which is fine, and one blog I visit *has* adverts but they're just images/text/links manually added by the author, which is okay.
gollark: - out of the way of main content
gollark: - no tracking stuff - entirely based on the content of the latest request I make or static- static images/text only - no animations, video, scripting- clearly distinguished from main content
gollark: I turn off adblocking on the... two websites I use with non-evil ads, though.
