A good concept, I like it! But pleas make ads less invasive. I understand we all need to pay our bills, but that shouldn't interfere with the user experience. Besides that, I didn't know there were so many guys in space as we speak!
Someone on HN that does not use ad block? This is still so confusing for me. Why not spend 40 seconds and never see any ads more?
Some reasons I don't use them anymore (in no specific order)1. I have had them subtly mess with websites I am working on and I probably wasted multiple hours troubleshooting an issue that wasn't an issue2. I have had them break a web form when I was trying to purchase something3. I have purchased some things I like from ads and wouldn't have discovered otherwise4. I don't frequent websites that overuse them or I can't work around them5. I'm on a work laptop sometimes and I'm not allowed to use them for corp security reasons6. I'm not sure I trust the ad blockers themselves, their developers, or their own app security7. It's another process that can slow down viewing a webpage
Ad blockers often prevent ads from loading, so overall I'd be surprised if they really ended up slowing down browsing
