HN Discussion:
  • Ads are psychological attacks that harm individuals and society and should be rejected
  • Accepts uBO's decision as correct; users should just leave or minimize Facebook use
  • Hopes uBO keeps fighting, worried giving up sets a bad precedent for other platforms like YouTube
  • ~Suggests alternative technical approaches like whitelisting non-ad content or computer vision detection
  • Questions the economic logic of Facebook fighting so hard against users who won't convert anyway
