A friend just pointed out:
"ADHD creates impulse control issues and, consequently, advertising takes advantage of a disability. Ergo, ad blockers are assistive devices and interfering with their operation for commercial gain constitutes a willful violation of the ADA."

@tek I'm fairly convinced that this is actually how it works. It would explain a lot about how folks with ADHD often express that they literally cannot use the web without an adblocker, whereas other folks often seem to be able to mentally ignore the ads.
That seems like pretty damning evidence that this is targeted disruption to ADHD folks.
@joepie91 @tek I think if I turned off my ad blocker, i would be in for a massive shock and probably wouldn't cope
