      Sure it won’t kill people like programming drones, but it is still unethical and would affect ~5 billion people negatively.

          1. It’s not just ad blockers that is m issue with this. Read Mozilla’s post for a bunch of valid concerns.
          2. If you read my reply there is a comma prior to the just which makes a pause if it makes it better you could read it as [it’s] just under… Either way I am not trying to make the wide gape you are referring to, I was simply stating it as a matter of fact more ethical then programming for military use but still unethical.

            I’m not saying concerns aren’t valid, I just took your comment to be calling it almost comparable to military software.

            “…, it’s just under…” means the same thing, but I think you mean “it’s just under” as in “although, it’s under” rather than “just” being a measurement?
