Google is not an IT company. It’s an advertising company. Surprised Pikachu, it blocks ad blockers.
It's been an ad company for a long time, though, and blocking ad blockers is new.
Yeah it’s always been an ad company. And you are correct, blocking apps is new, welcome to the last stage in the ad-blocking arms race. Glad I degoogled my digital life a decade ago.
Hey, can you tell a little bit about your stack, what apps and services do you use? Also on phone? I guess in a decade you could work that out pretty well.
