The people who I've tried to get on NoScript seem to have the brain capacity of goldfish. If the site doesn't instantly work, it's as if the sky has fallen and there is no way to convince them to pay attention to which scripts are actually needed.
It's a rare breed that is willing to put up with toggling different scripts on and off. I'll also acknowledge that too many people (including me) are in a giant rush. For work-type stuff, I have the laptop without noscript, because sometimes I do need something to work absolutely right now.
You don't think you are being a tad judgemental?
People whose lives revolve around fashion probably think you dress like shit.
People who love food probably think you eat like shit.
People who love cars probably think you are a shit driver.
You probably love computers and care about privacy, and you are shitting on regular users(assumption, admittedly) for not being invested.
They had something that was working, you present noscript, thing no longer works. If you are not invested, how are you going to see the appeal of extra work?
Well, you know what they say. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it interested in learning about the water cycle to have a deeper understanding of why the river flows in the first place.
