Couple of issues I'm wondering about...
-
"I have drawn YOU as the soyjack and ME as the chad, therefore you lose the argument"
Are you autistic?
what a rude thing to say, especially considering I wasn't talking to you.
I'm gonna keep it that way, best of luck baiting someone else champ.
-
What are they going to do? blacklist me and stop serving me ads?
Oh no
If you care about your information and privacy, why are you giving them your information for nothing?
-
I think we're far past caring about a website logging an IP address.
I'm past caring about giving my IP to a website that I want to use, but what this is doing is handing out your information to every single advertiser that is published on any page you visit. In some cases this plugin would match the definition of "leaking personal data".
You do you though. I won't stop you.
-
so use a VPN? if you're the sort of user using AdNauseam, you're probably also the sort of user who already uses a VPN.
I'm behind SEVEN proxies!

Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads would see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

When was the last time you checked the length of your DHCP lease?
-
Right, but thousands of them, possibly every day? Could perhaps affect your data consumption on your phone e.g.
️You aren't terribly familiar with how much traffic we generate nowadays... are you? If we were still on 2G and isdn / dsl sure. You'd likely see a slight latency jump. On anything from this last decade+ ? Not a chance.

Every 10,000 miles. Or after you hit 40. Before putting it on?
Shit. I know this one... uh...
-
Using autistic as a derogatory slur is rude for no reason.
Okay? I didn't do that to you. But you were being rude to me for no reason.
-
lol
furthermore: lmao.
Now the name calling. Cool, dude.
I'll concede the data plan dent thing; I hadn't done any math regarding that. Thanks for clarifying that to me and everyone else!
But you did say "none" so I just pointed out the fact that it's not none. It's some. I wasn't wrong to point that out. No matter how much of a stickler you find me for that.
But that's no reason to post images implicitly depicting me to be some kind of fat nerd.
You're a rude person. Autistic or not.

I'm not, am I. I hadn't done any calculations regarding this. It was strictly hypothetical, as you can probably tell from the question mark and
️.

️. I'll be honest - you weren't really presenting your case in that way. Understand my confusion: you seemed pretty adamant about your concern with no backing data on it. Most people pick their hills with something to back them.

I mean, that image is pretty rude, too.

I accept your concession, better luck next time.

pedantry is pedantry, if you interject with "well ACKSHUALLY" over literaly a couple kilobytes of data in the Year Of Our Lord 2025 where common storage device sizes are in the multiple terabyte range, expect to be called one. It is functionally none, because it is not 1993.
Autistic or not.
can't even come up with your own insult for me, just gonna steal that sad attempt at one from the other guy? how... underwhelming, must do better.

️I don't know of any data plan that limits on the upload. Caps are usually on the download side, and TFA says it does not download the server response.
-
Also wouldn't this be directing a ton of money to google? (or I guess any other ad provider)
In the short term, I would think so.
In the long run, it makes it less appealing for companies to advertise, because they would have larger costs while having less sales. That, in return, hurts Google as advertisers don't want to pay as much anymore.
Or in short, it's designed to hurt the system as a whole, not specific companies.

It's not really a hill for me to begin with lol.

Huh?

K.
if you interject with "well ACKSHUALLY"
Those are your words, not mine.
where common storage device sizes are in the multiple terabyte range,
I was talking about data sent over a network, not stored on disk.
️can't even come up with your own insult for me, just gonna steal that sad attempt at bait from the other guy?
My god. I'm not "out to get you" here, this isn't Reddit, will you fucking relax, dude? I thought you said that you were autistic? Maybe I misinterpreted you. Maybe it was someone else.
All good how? Ready to drop the insults?
️ -

That's kind of my point - just based on the reception it's clear that a number of people were perceiving that as one. Normally that's the "pump the brakes" or the "hol up
️️" moment where you clarify. -

You do have a point, but... It's not for nothing. It's to hurt the predatory ad industry. And what you give up isn't much: your IP address and likely the referral (so they know you visited website X that was serving their ad). It's up to you to decide whether that's an acceptable privacy cost to conduct this kind of guerilla ad warfare.
It would be cool if it could somehow integrate to a VPN and only do that while the VPN is active. I don't think it's possible, though.
