I love that Unlock Origin shows "0" instead of "146" blocked domains while scrolling Lemmy as opposed to Reddit

Mine now has a "2" on lemmy.world due to blocking cloudflareinsights. The cost of DDOS protection I suppose.

I remember when reddit also used to show 0, then it was one ad, people lost their shit, and reddit said don't worry, it's just one.

Side note: I never cared about ads on reddit. I cared about the loss of down votes, their treatment of the RES folks, their shitty app, their shitty hosting, etc.

But this raises the bigger issue, how do we pay for this? I'm on kbin, I have trust issues with money, but nobody is even asking for money low key Wikipedia style.
