I recently saw a video from Louis Rossman about whether or not ad blocking is piracy. This isn't a response to the video (it's OK), but some thoughts I got from it.

This is not a post where I'm sure of my opinions! I'm think out loud, and hoping for other people's thoughts. It started as a thread on Mastodon. Here's a link to that, and I hope someone adds their thoughts there!

To me, more interesting than if it's piracy/illegal, is if it's ethical/right. And when evaluating something like that, I like to ask myself:

“Would it be ok if everyone did it?”
