    This already exists - @soatok@furry.engineer’s blog already has a popup about not having an adblocker, although it is easy to dismiss. It’s probably a bad idea to block content based on not having one, as detecting ad blockers is a losing battle (as YouTube is learning).

      It’s not a losing battle.

      It’s like a lock on your front door: Anyone that really wants to bypass it will easily. It’s there to stop most people.

      On Reddit/Lemmy we’re exposed to mostly people that know how to, but outside a lot of people will think Adblockers are the discovery of the century when their brother in law installs it, until they need to update it and it won’t work ever again because they can’t click an update button.
