PiHole can block any domain you want. AdGuardHome has a handy switch in the UI that does it for you.

Always has. Anything using ActivittPub can interoperate

Enforcing a patent is not necessarily patent trolling. Is Nokia’s sole purpose to collect patent for things they have no intention or capability to create and sell? That’s the definition of a patent troll. Nokia doesn’t exist solely to collect patents and make their revenue by suing actual business.

We got people out here mad at shit they don’t even understand…

I really like their lime flavor but I don’t get them very often. Are people here mad that consumers like to buy something with fun marketing? Yeah it’s a sparkling water with a ridiculous name. Sorry for having fun.

Advertising plateaued in terms of effectiveness a long time ago, so now it’s gotta be about fraud.

Artificial ranking. Without an API it’s much less reliable for botnets to astroturf; now they’re said “if you can’t beat em, join em” and closed the API and everything is for sale: Even the honesty of the site.

They probably will. The next evolution in ads is going to be serving them within other organic content, your browser can’t block them if it can’t tell the difference. Now you can just pay Reddit to astroturf for you.

Drop them, they’re literally QVC.
