    One day I installed AdGuard on a Pi and routed my parent’s traffic through it, effectively blocking ads. I thought they would love to live without ads but she asked me to remove it because the games she plays won’t progress unless she watches ads.

      I have a pi hole and my wife likes the Google shopping links that it blocks and my sister in law likes to play games with ads. I ended up just making a bypass list and putting their devices on them.

        Same for me. I have a group called noblock on my pihole. If someone complains, I go and add their device to it. I have given up arguing with people…

        You know, if the people who go out of their way for ads make it so the people who won’t don’t make such a huge target, I’ll take it.
