What are you tired of helping and educating people about because you know they'll just be ignorant anyway? (kbin.melroy.org)

When it comes to dealing with advertisements when they're surfing on their browsers. I've just learned recently about how Google has or is killing UBlock Origin on the Chrome browser as well as all Chromium based browsers too.

We've heard for years about people complaining, bitching, whining and vice versa about how they keep seeing ads. And those trying to help them, keep wasting time to tell these people that they're surfing without extensions. Whether it'd be on Chrome or Firefox or another browser.

By this point, I've long stopped being that helper because if you cared at all about the advertisements you see, you would've long had gotten on the wagon of getting adblockers by now. You bring this onto yourself.

Honestly, they can't. The way IT works is there's multiple levels. First level, second level, third level. Whenever anybody calls in, they get first level, which are usually either inexperienced people, new people, or people with no experience whatsoever, and they're all reading scripts. They're the gatekeepers for level 2, 3, and 4, the people who actually know what they're doing. It's because 99 out of 100 people don't know shit and it just needs to be restarted and they would clog up the time of people who actually know what they're doing and nothing would ever get done.

And if one of those level one guys accidentally lets through somebody who should have been taken care of by their script, they will get reamed the fuck out for wasting people's time who gets paid more an hour than they do a day.
