waffYour idea makes sense, and I don't blame anyone who would block ads out of principle...the right to do that ought to be protected more than someone who desires all of their advertisements to be seen. In regards to JS, you are completely right with it not always beeing spooky shit. The site I moderate, for instance, uses jschan, which I highly doubt does spooky shit behind the scenes, however the reputation of what the code typically is used for definitely sours using it.
I think I get what you are saying, 4chan ads despite being simplistic in appearence still rely on Javascript. I didn't really think that was the case but Ill have to try and load it on gnu icecat to see if it blocks them out. Perhaps that wasn't the best example but I think both you and me agree on the idea, nevertheless, that a simple jpeg/gif ad isn't invasive so long as it doesn't use js
@ev I mean that datas not really hard to collect there. You don't even need bots (als i think that female number may be inflated due to larps/people of gender). I know hirouki isnt the most trustworthy guy but again the idea of using simple gifs/jpegs to me is still really inoffensive in my opinion

waffRumbles a small platform for people just mirroring content but today I was just browsing it and found this other retro video game reviewer/playthrougher that really reminds me of louis rossman if he was big into old video games. Calm voice, relaxing gameplay, and most importantly CATS :3
