They are not. People are supporting Linustechtips. I use adblock only on certain websites, but not this one. I want to support this creator.

NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER STOP LEARNING. DONT LET THE PAST HURT YOU. YOU CAN DOOOOO IT

It's not about the ads. It's about supporting the forum, and those running it. A lot of contributors run AdBlock, but support the site anyways. 

 

Besides, why buy games on Steam if you can torrent them for free?

 

Why buy music if you can torrent it for free?

 

Why buy anything if you can steal it for free?

They're not 'throwing their money away', they're contributing to a business with more than just Linus, who all need to earn a living and be able to fucking eat.

By this point, it boils down to ethics and morals. I don't argue either of those. I just know bad ones when I see them. (Here)

Yes its basically a donation with added benefits

But instead of paying, I prefer to not use adblock and just ignore the ads, this way I can still support him

I say that because most of the posts I post are very controversial and people dont know how to have a civil conversation, like yourself.
