i know this is extremely unlikely to happen, but imagine if both mozilla and google decides to remove adblock extensions in every way, if that happens, would you still pirate?
Some people might say about *arr aplications, but imo that wouldnt work, simply because without adblocks, the trackers would do something to stop it.
Idk I guess I mean like boosted vendors. In 90s and early 00 I used to go to expos or even certain street vendors and they would have boosted or ripped movies and software.
And in terms of porn I mean sex spots scattered around cities and towns.

It would just bring back street crime and physical boosting and robbery. Same thing for blocking porn… all the creepy 70/80/90s shit would come back…
I really hate ads, too. But I don’t think I would be turning to street crime because of them.
“OH they put ads everywhere and won’t let me hide them? Looks like it’s time for me to become a domestic terrorist”

But why would this happen because of ads?
I don’t see this direct link between adblockers and being able to pirate stuff.
