Why have they been fingering a smurf tho 😭
Like a weird version of the avatar from ATLA
Gender bending…?
Just smurf them in the smurf. Smurfette lets you do that when you’re a smurf.

More info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Michael_Bailey#Research_and_views
In 2023, Springer retracted a paper co-authored by Bailey [28] on the rapid onset gender dysphoria (ROGD) hypothesis “due to concerns about lack of informed consent”, which had been published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
Won’t they be charged extra when you click on it?
yeah, I would click and forget for them to pay
Check out AdNauseum, it’s like ublock origin except it “clicks” on every ad you come across. It uses a little bit more of your bandwidth and ram but I think it’s totally worth it
I know that addon, but decided against.
Prime argument against it is that a major reason I use ublock is security.
Ad links lead sometimes to trojan distributing sites, and I really don’t want to catch a drive-by virus…That’s not how AdNauseam works. It sends a network request, but ignores the response. This basically “pokes” the ad server, triggering a payout.
FWIW, AdNauseam is based on uBlock Origin.
That’s not how viruses work. Your PC can’t just “catch a virus” if you click the wrong link
If you really think that’s how that works, then using the internet must be a terrifying experience for you. I feel bad for you
What is Drive By Download?
A drive-by download is a cyber-attack that unintentionally downloads malicious code onto a computer or mobile device that exposes the users to different threats […]
The user doesn’t have to click on anything, press download, or open a malicious email attachment to become infected. These types of attacks can take advantage of an app, operating system, or web browser that contains security flaws due to a lack of updates or unsuccessful updates.So, the question is: Do I trust an Addon to be bug-free enough to let it intentionally run loose on high-risk content?
And is it worth the potential additional risk (that I try to minimize in the first place by using Ad- and Script-Blockers)?Besides that there seem to be other reasons not to use AdNauseam, a major one being that it generates profit for e.g. google.
No one’s wasting a zero-day browser vulnerability on you
Well, happened to me once already.
Auto-pop-up to a hijacked page.
Anti-Virus found the trojan later after next update.
About 15 years ago and I was running Windows, but still…Things have changed a lot in 15 years…
Wait, what? Have I been wrong about how ads work this whole time?
Each time you load the page, there’s an auction to sell ad spots. The advertiser has to pay their bid once you click on the add.
A lot of ads also run on conversion. Some and networks don’t charge right away until a user converts.
Click on it and submit false data, got it.
They’re probably already doing that with a load of their own sockpuppets.
If they’re being scientific wouldn’t contributing your data make their results say what they don’t went them to though, even if their intent is transphobic? I’m not on Reddit though so I haven’t seen these anyway
Only if you expect them to actually be scientific, to not misrepresent the data willy-nilly, to not simply drop undesired data and never mention it, to not use manipulative language to make a statistically relevant amount of people answer in a way they want, ecetera.
It’s better to not give them shit at all.
Click on it, then post Never Gonna Give You Up as your story!
Ruin these fuckers data collection!
