minus-squareLordKekz@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkDeutscharrow-up2·edit-29 days agoYeah, I agree with you. Banning ads is a good thing. I just wanted to point out that Valve isn’t doing this purely for our benefit. Valve also does some anti-competitive or anti-consumer stuff to keep their near-monopolistic status.
