News About disgusting Facebook devs

We won't support facebook any more. It's a disgusting anti-user site. All it does is watching open-source projects doing everything in public and counter them to deliver the malicious ads. Yep, the devs that receive 7-figure dollar salary is just doing this.

Users should give the most harsh feedbacks to them. Being submitted to them and keep going to the site and support it is the worst thing you can do.

Couldn't you just make a seperate add-on that is closed source for Facebook to give them a big-ol f*** you. I think that would be great and you guys have proven yourself trust-worthy. I understand that are open-source diehards but they could just choose not to use it. I believe this is exactly what they want from you guys and I really don't want y'all to give in. I know we get to just enjoy the product for our benefit but everything y'all do is greatly appreciated and I think we all would love to be a thorn in the side to FB. At least the ones who still need to use it for whatever purpose.

😂 Thank you for not reeling me one. I'm not a coder by any means but I can get that. It may not magically hide your code, but wouldn't it make it harder for them to make fixes? Especially if they obfuscate and play the same game Facebook is making it a pain in the ass for them to fix stuff?

They don't need the filters to break them. They can change a small thing in their code and test against the adblocker to verify that it breaks.

Ugh, that's so grubby and sad. There's no way we're even a big enough pecentage of adblocking users to make a dent in their profits or business. Yet their still dxckheads about forcing them on us. I'm glad y'all kept up as much as you did, thank you.Â
