I’m already there, and I’m applying this thinking to every site - including the one hosting this article.

Same, I view the whole internet through uBlock and a pihole, so my value as an “impression” is virtually zero.

I’m not against for-profit websites making some money (and I run my own website, which generates a whopping $0), but Google has jumped the shark with their sketchy malware bullshit, and I’m starting to root for that organization to die.
