i used to do the same thing, till a popular gaming website i went to accidentally let a keylogger get onto one of their ads(this was a pretty big site too. it was wow.com for the World of Warcraft mmo) so from that day on i felt like if sites can't make their ads safe then i have no reason to allow them onto my computer. just not worth the risk or the hassle.

That's retarded. The very reason shit like this happens is because Reddit is ad-supported. Advertising is a global force for evil. Allowing it into your head is foolhardy.

How does turning it off make them money if you still don't buy anything? I will NEVER turn off adblock because I'm NEVER going to click on some stupid flashing ad and give someone money. Never, ever will I do that.
