You want free and private internet - Ok You don’t want ads - Ok So who is going to give you something for free and why?
I knew it will be downvoted, but you have to realize, nothing is free in this world kids, I don’t like it too, but it is what it is.

Bro’s paying for grep.
Plenty of things can be and are free at the point of service/point of consumption/utilization.
That’s all they need to be. And they’re just has to be enough willpower to do that from enough people.
This world is what ever we make it, and literally everything we need to live is free, from water to food to shelter. The earth literally just does all that.
limp dick attitude is how we got here… good job champ
disgusting bootlicking
You’re paying for the air you breathe? Lots of things are free. Capitalists who want you to pay for what you shouldn’t will try to convince you otherwise.
posted on social media developed for free using a standard specced out for free running on servers people are allowing you to use for free…
Whether or not current models are sustainable is beside the point. Obviously they aren’t, ad blockers weren’t developed for shits and giggles but to stop increasingly intrusive practices.
Funny as the internet was designed as being free.
Maybe just educate yourself a little. In general, not just about that.
Oh well? I think you should educate yourself a little, it was never designed to be free, it was designed for army for long distance fast and reliable communication, later evolved to be a service, no service is free, providers aren’t gods to give you anything for free.
I don’t mind ads so much. What I don’t want in invasive tracking and collection of every scrap of data they can to push ads on you. Give some dumb ads based on the damned contents of the page and I would be fine. But no, ads is basically a synonym for tracking these days.
People who value the ability to do publish information, or engage in personal expression, for starters.

If you’ve got no purpose hosting a website, don’t. We don’t need you.
Ad block is the number one thing you can do on the Internet to reduce your risk to exploits, phishing, etc. The US government recommends the use of ad block specifically for this reason. Usage of ad block is basic internet security hygiene.
I know what adblock is and how works, I use, that doesn’t change the fact it is just ruining free internet, if everyone used adblockers google, youtube, gmail and all other apps would not be free (you think why youtube ads are getting longer and longer?) If you use something for free, you either abuse someone’s work, or you sell your data, no free things on this world.
