Don't you guys think give little credit to Kent? He already put the news in the Insider News a while back.

It doesn't bother me. I normally don't visit Insider News very often so I see no problem with someone else posting it here. I don't think it is reasonable to expect someone to search the entirety of CP before making a posting.

I don't normally visit your message and again there is CP Notification. Please ignore, it's not meant to you.

I don't really follow Kent on a regular basis. That said, he does a great job and typically 90% of the articles he picks are really good.

In a parallel universe, there's probably an evil Kent who can impact the technology opinions of 100s of 1000s of IT workers around the globe by carefully selecting articles that align with his biased techno-political opinions.
Fortunately, our universe has the good Kent.

It's hard to judge if you don't follow. Even to give that percent.
|
|
|
|

Well opinions are subjective anyway, so two people who regularly follow Kent may not agree on that percentage - assuming that's a thing now

Understood. I'm just saying it. Just not for debate but to remind to look the surrounding in the community. I feel like you ignoring it. Even your subject is same as his. What did you feel if I post it again in third times forth times,...

You can re-post it on other forums as many times as you want to  You can even re-post it here after a week or so, and people won't mind.

I don't understand how developers can use an ad blocking tool. They should keenly understand that someone has to pay for a site to exist. There is no magic that pays for it all.
It is very dishonest to use ad blocking. Ads do not bother me much at all, but then again, I never visit sites that have tons of ads. Sometimes someone links to an ad heavy site in here and I end up closing the site before it can even finish loading. There's nothing so important on any site that I either will wait for all the ads or install malware ad blocking. Too many ads means I don't visit it. Simple.

I work on a different principle.
When you first visit a site, you have no idea if the content is worth anything at all, but you get all the adverts anyway, and the site owner gets paid.
So I use an ad blocker and will selectively disable it for sites I use because they have worthwhile content. Fill your site with ads - and uBlock counts them on a page-by-page basis - and it's not likely you'll go on that "approved" list. That way the worthwhile sites get paid, and the rubbish ones aren't encouraged to proliferate.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

My justification is that my browser has sent a "Do Not Track" header, but the ads try to track me nonetheless. Since they have not honored the fact that I have not given them consent to track me, I block their content. I do not block ads that do not track.
I use the Privacy Badger add-in.

Spot on.
Pay for good service, not for the privilege of being allowed to use the Internet. If a web-site does not provide good product, don't pay them for it.
Those who argue against that principle will be people who cannot produce good product, so have to use more devious means to snatch money.

I use IE for sites I trust, like CP, google, MSDN, etc - looking at an ad for IBM Cloud even as I type this.
Chrome with ad-blocker enabled for other sites.

You do realize that there are plenty of "big name sites" (forbes.com anyone?) that will infect your computer with the first ad downloaded? Before you even have a chance to decide if the site is overly ad-laden or not?
Not blocking ads in today's malware-infested ad world is the very definition of unsafe computing.

I guess that is how you justify stealing to yourself. OK. To each their own.
