About a year or two ago I'd open up an article blocked by ad blocker and I'd try tweaking my settings a little, thinking if it were easy, I'd use a bit of effort to get to the writing I wanted to read.

I did that for a while with about a 50/50 chance that one setting or just clicking a few things and I could get to the copy.

Now I don't really care ..... there's a million things to read on the internet ... if I see a site and it even throws up a challenge, an extra click or ad blocker has affected it ... I don't even bother, just close it, forget it and move on.
