_I use an adblocker because most sites I visit that serve ads do not
personally vet the ads that run (with the great exception I can recall being
4chan, of all places!), they use an unfiltered third party network, which

While sites might not be able to vet individual ads, they do get to choose
which advertisers to use and it's glaringly obvious which ones use the ads
people hate.

Why not just not visit sites that decide to use annoying ads?

There is a good article, linked within, about how as an entrepreneur, of
things go wrong, it's your fault.

I'd say that's valuable advice for humans, not just entrepreneurs.

This belief is useful not because it _true_, but because acting as of it's
true offers you the best chance of changing what you can change.
