I'll say it again: combatting ecological impact is a game of pennies.
You're missing the point by complaining that it's a smaller impact than all the industry in China (what isn't?), because there's nothing I (or anyone else) can do to eliminate the impact of all the industry in China. That is not one of the available 'moves' in this 'game.' It's a red herring.
That's what I meant by "magic bullet" thinking: you imagine you can only do one thing, and that one thing must fix 100% of the problem. In real life this problem (like most problems) isn't like that.
Also adblockers don't waste my time, they actually save me time. As far as mitigations go it has a good cost-to-benefit ratio, hence "low-hanging."
> focus your efforts into something scalable
Like, say, convincing lots of people (ideally some convenient population of technology thought leaders) that they should install uBlock Origin? :-)
But again, this premise that we're only allowed to do one thing is silly. I contain multitudes, and so do you.
