Is there any chance the users of whatsapp will delete that app after it have ads in it ? What do you think ?
Is whatsapp deep rooted into humans soul that no changes will create hate to whatsapp ? Are everyone living in a subconcious state ?

We need to realise that WE ARE A MINORITY. Most people do not give a single shit about ads and go about their lives
I keep offering my partner a way out via either a pi hole or (my current setup) adguard. They literally don’t want it. Why? It doesn’t bother them and sometimes you have to watch the ads for perks in games. Even tried to show them that you can have per App rules etc.
But no. It’s not a big deal. Using any of their devices gives me an aneurysm, I keep forgetting how bad mobile ads and browser ads are. Smh
I used to have pi-hole setup and a housemate complained that he could no longer click on Google ads 🙄
Wtf? I weep for humanity.
Just use a custom list for them. Or just isolate them on a different vlan.
I’ve actually had useful stuff advertised to me on Facebook, not all ads are bad.
That’s why I don’t play mobile games at all :D
What do you use that allows you to set per app rules?
I use adguard. Bought the app years ago and I couldn’t be happier. It’s especially great because some secure apps break with their traffic routed through it and it’s super easy to configure.
TrackerControl gives app-level control. It’s FOSS & available on F-droid.
Yes, tech enthusiasts are a minority and most people are tech illiterate.
As someone who works in the tech industry. I can tell you people here are not tech illiterate, but most just dgaf about privacy when they can trade it in for convenience. That’s why most of them are okay with designing apps that have zero respect to user privacy and they see nothing wrong with it.
