I am personally sick of this culture where some people believe they are entitled to free stuff. TL is not your guest, TL is not an encyclopedia you own on your bookshelf, TL is not your personal Apple question answering machine. I see tons of people complaining about the quality of free streams, which may run one add every 30 mins. I see people complain about streamers running adds inbetween games. According to our opening poll, people go out and download a free program so that they aren't annoyed by the adds that show up on the free websites they visit. Lets not start on illegal downloading, but right or wrong it buys completely into this mindset.

Working at a popular fast food restaurant, I get at least one person a week asking for a "free" water only (no purchase) in the drive-thru. Not to mention all the promotions that are run give away something for free whether its buy-one get-one or get a free something with purchase because that is the best way to entice people nowadays.

You don't have a right to free stuff; if a company puts a price on a product, you only have two options: pay that price, or don't use that product. This is how our society runs, if you adblock TL, not only do you hate E-Sports (and Elly, how could you hate her????) but you also hate capitalism (and if your American, you also hate America).

It is the mark of the mind untrained to take its own processes as valid for all men, and its own judgments for absolute truth.

The elitists keep trying to get people to not use adblock when it is a free utility provided on Mozilla's ( firefox/waterfox 32/64 ) official webpage for that exact purpose of using it. In some users of it do it because of principle, performance, bandwidth, battery life for notebook users, security.

Elly is only asking that you consider helping TL generate revenue for its maintenance and growth. You don't have to help. It just makes her cry if you don't. She's a bit of a drama queen.

Based on the reactions of this thread we have decided to write our own explanation of how to unblock ads on TL. The Elephant banner now links to this thread. We didn't realize a lot of people didn't know how to do it. Thanks TobZero and his OP for making us conscious of this, and for everyone who unblocked TL as a result of this.
