      Actually this is an unpopular opinion or your circle is so different from the average that you are almost aliens, I have yet to meet someone that would sincerely say that they think that not watching ads is breaking social contract.

        OP stated that it’s ok to block ads even though it’s piracy. That’s not an unpopular opinion.

          His statement reads as “blocking ads is piracy …” , it’s factually not true, not that “it’s moral to block ads even though it’s piracy”. Which still isn’t true but can be accepted as not an unpopular opinion.

        Everyone is agreeing with the OP that blocking ads is ok. That makes the post “popular”.

        This isn’t /c/popularopinion.

          Does look like everyone disagrees that it’s piracy ngl. Seems to have struck a nerve, but good post imo
