	so? If you don't want your site 'visited' then don't make it
	public. This is a variation of a non-argument for 'intellectual
	property'. if you don't want 'your' ideas 'stolen' then keep
	them secret.

	Sounds like a good thing.

	but you want people to pay through advertising so what's the

	nah, it's the greedy idiots who want to sell or advertise
	garbage and who think they own the computers of other people. 

	so now go back to your outrageous claim that "
	ad-blocking [is] a form of theft"  and try to grasp how fucked
	the claim is.
