@aral Thanks for this. I'm in a similar position as the author and it was good to read.Voicing such opinions in Israel subjected me to violence, denial of work and social ostracism.It's a hard place to grow up in and I'm glad to have had the privilege to emigrate.The saddest thing for me is hearing the same lines of proapaganda I was raised on parroted by Europeans in my adopting country. I do my best to set the record straight when I can. At least here I don't get beaten up for it.

@aral I will add that the perspective of most people living in Israel is that all the world is against them and that any voice of dissent is antisemitic.There is no changing this opinion, and pushing back against it mostly serves to amplify it.I try to have empathy instead (eg. with old friends still living there) - just like you would with people who joined a cult. Listen, be there for them when they come out, allow them to use you as a ladder out of the darkness they're unknowingly in.

@ellie > Thank you!! When is this released?> Why is this not a priority?> But why does it work in <software that I think is the same but isn't>> I'd gladly implement it if you tell me how> This is the only feature I'm missing in order to migrate from <software that I am using for similar stuff>

@aral This might be a bit of a weird take on this, but I think the most concrete thing most of us can do against this is use and encourage the use of ad-blockers.We can't compete at scale with this sort of money. Free services will always trump donation-based or paid services, because that's what we're used to as consumers.We *can* however try to make this industry totally not worth it for VCs to invest in. And this is where ad/tracking blockers at a massive scale come in.

@aral I've been told this - and I totally believe your superior experience - but honestly, I use firefox (and used Netscape before that) and have not seen an ad in twenty years. So I'm not sure what I'm doing differently.

@aral Yeah, truth. And I am indeed a ublock user.Maybe a different solution is to just create colossal amounts of garbage data.
