       | someone turns them off is a literal dark pattern.

         | Running an adblocker is literally a "free rider" strategy. I've

         | that's the luck of the draw. What entitles you to run one?

         | It's some quite arresting imagery. You're definitely going to
         | watch it if it's on.
