I feel like people who complain about this are people who wouldn't be satisfied with anything unless they rolled it themselves. Of course, you could purchase your own server, use OpenVPN, etc. But anything that you haven't touched yourself is just one more thing that's potentially malicious.

What's to stop people from forking off that list and transitioning to another one? Like what if ad blockers just switched to use EasyList2 instead of EasyList?

I'm not saying there aren't users. I'm saying that it's getting absolutely mauled by its competition. Obviously it's hyperbole to say it's dead, but it's definitely dying unless it can do something drastic. It's got no redeeming features that would make me want to use it over Messenger, Messenger/Facebook Stories, or Instagram Stories. I used Snapchat myself up until its competitors were released - so did many of my friends.

Not sure that really applies. You NEED to buy things. Rent/mortgage. Food. Transportation expenses. The guy's right - at this point, why would you ever spend BTC on those transactions when you can spend $ instead?

The reason why you spend any currency instead of buying BTC is because you need to. Not because you're willingly buying something unnecessary to forsake potential earnings in the future.
