ublock origin billy, never adblock plus!

[-] 14th_cylon@lemm.ee 67 points 3 weeks ago

You can literally pay adblock plus for whitelisting your ad.

If you want to make the world better place, look elsewhere.

I swear it's always Adblock Plus in memes about ad-blocking. Who makes these memes?

[-] Aatube@kbin.melroy.org 86 points 3 weeks ago

You can’t even donate to uBO or the filters from the uBO team. I think you mean EasyList.

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 70 points 3 weeks ago

That's true - Raymond Hill, the uBO developer, doesn't accept donations or payment for his software. Truly a legend. I'd 100% donate to them if they accepted donations.

The meme is about Adblock Plus though which does have a paid tier. I prefer uBO myself, but if you are stuck with Safari then it's a legit option.

I'd 100% donate to them if they accepted donations.

If they accepted donations, you wouldn't want to.

The reason uBlock Origins surpasses all the others is because of who the lead dev is, what they believe, and why they do it. They are absolute hardline and believe in what they made. It's not a job.

You don't need to be that kind of person to be a good developer, but when it comes to something like an adblocker and privacy protection, you want people like him who won't falter or sell out. You want those true believers.

If he accepted donations, then he wouldn't be the kind of person that made uBlock Origins what it is.

Yes and no, if you have large-scale projects that require a ton of people, donations can be necessary.

Just because you take donations doesn't mean you have a profit motive.

[-] maxprime@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah. To be specific, you wouldn’t want people to donate and expect a specific service. Or worse, donate in exchange for their site whitelisted.

[-] catloaf@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

If you want to donate, send it directly to creators whose work you enjoy.

[-] doctortran@lemm.ee 20 points 3 weeks ago

You're lying, because uBlock Origins refuses donations. They are adamant about the purity of the project.

[-] Flatworm7591@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 3 weeks ago

Calm down buddy. It's just a fun meme. Read the comments for context.

[-] antithetical@lemmy.deedium.nl 9 points 3 weeks ago

I would buy YouTube Premium in a heartbeat if it wasn't by the morally corrupt Google (or any other from MANAMANA).

[-] theshatterstone54@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago

Meta, Alphabet, Netflix, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple, .... (what's the other NA)?

[-] antithetical@lemmy.deedium.nl 7 points 3 weeks ago

Ha, I had to look up the most up-to-date acronym on Wikipedia and found this one. They are NVidia and Adobe.

I quite like this one :)

[-] melroy@kbin.melroy.org 8 points 3 weeks ago

Billy yeeeeees!

[-] RootBeerGuy@discuss.tchncs.de 13 points 3 weeks ago

Not for adblock plus please

[-] DebatableRaccoon@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 weeks ago

Oh yeah, no, absolutely not. I was going with OPs mention of uBO

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago
