You’re bypassing payment (in the form of watching ads)

By this argument going to the bathroom during a commercial break is piracy.

This isnt “someone being offended when accused of piracy”

This is " People getting upset when an idiot tries to blame end users, instead of holding the people who created the problem accountable"

Cause adblock isnt a user problem.

Its an ad service problem. They created a hostile environment where people had to run adblockers to protect themselves against unmoderated and unpoliced content and malicious/infected advertising.

If you have issues, blame the people who caused it, not the end users trying to protect themselves.
