Why do you use this shit?
It's not like seeing ads matter anymore, it's 2015, you all have 150 down/50 up, you all have fast computers. Loading a few products do not impact browsing.
And all ads have a way to mute sound now.
Really, I do not understand this mindset. Be sure that developers are actively working to permanently disable these addons.
>>51696386
The few shitheads who abuse the system ruin it for everyone else. If people weren't assholes with 500 different popups and script redirects and other shit that try to hijack my browser to look at their stupid ad, then I wouldn't block them. But sadly far too many people go this route, so the few that put reasonable ads wind up suffering.
>>51696386
>>51696386
What benefit do I get for enabling ads? I see no reason why I would ever turn off adblock.
>>51696462
there is never a benefit to seeing an advertisement. the goal of advertisement is to create an anxiety relievable by purchase, thus every advertisement you see is actually an assault on your person. you don't owe marketers or their advertisements a second of your attention, they are not altruistic, they only care about their bottom line and getting you to waste money on something you do not need or actually want.
I quickly changing pages in magazines when there was ads, I was muting the TV in the break, I am now blocking ads. FUCK MARKETING.
I will block ads until the day I day, and nothing you can say or do will change that, ya cocksucker.
>>51696484
Very true. NOT doing anything to avoid ads is like saying "I want others to take advantage of me".
>>51696444
Saying there are reasonable ads is like saying there are reasonable forms of child absue.
>>51696598
It's a matter of opinion I suppose, but personally I don't mind unobtrusive banner ads all that much as long as they don't detract from the main purpose of the site, don't take up an unreasonable amount of screen space, and don't try to masquerade as legitimate page elements (for example "DOWNLOAD HERE" banner ads on a page where you're trying to download something)
I mean yeah, you brought up a good point about ads not really providing any benefit to the user, but I'm willing to accept them as a reasonable compromise and compensation for the webmaster's expenses and labor, as long as they don't try to be a jackass about it. I mean hell, I've got nothing against people getting something back in exchange for providing a useful service. Still I've found myself forced to block ads anyway because of the few guys that abuse the system, something I think is profoundly unfair to all the guys who actually don't go out of their way to be assholes about it.
>>51696598
But there is reasonable forms of child abuse.
>Be sure that developers are actively working to permanently disable these addons.
Stay salty.
>>51696462
The benefit of viewing ads is that marketers can tell you about all the awesome products and service that are avalible for public consumption. Of course they can't really do that without say wasting your time or bothering you in general.
>>51696641
This guy for example says that he's fine with adverts that don't conflict with his browsing experience. In fact what he is saying is that he doesn't mind adverts he can easily ignore them, which means that the only adverts he likes are the ones that aren't actually good adverts from the adverts point of view.

Stop anti-adblock shill threads you moron, watch your beloved ads instead
>>51696671
Well, even if I ignore the ad, the webmaster can still recoup a bit of income based on the fact that I saw it at all. I think that's perfectly fair as long as my experience hasn't been hindered in the process.
It's not like I'd prefer seeing ads over not seeing ads, just that I believe there's nothing wrong with people trying to receive compensation for their work, as long as they are reasonable about it.
>>51696386
But it hides the ads after loading them thus it's not harmful.

The problem with this rising trend, is that most of your favorite websites rely on advertisements to make money and stay in business.

If you want to keep your favorite websites free to use, and support your favorite websites, then do the responsible thing and..

Unrequested online ads get blocked because they:
- are in the form of popups
- have sound
- use flashy animation
- use distracting colours
- contain questionable content
- take up bandwidth
- take up too much space on a page
Fix your advertising style, or get blocked. Very simple.
>>51697130
i'm really surprised someone hasn't tried to make the shitty argument that this kind of intrusive advertising arose as a result of adblocking, which anyone who's been on the internet since the late 90s would know is patently false.
>>51697153
I miss the days when all adverts were for porn.
Also when you had to wait for a good minute to see a single image rather than streaming hardcore porn in full HD
The internet was a much happier place back then.
I'm kinda amused. In the 90s most sites were pay sites, then ads arose, and now it seems we're going back to subscriptions.
>>51697130
Fucking this.
I've seen pages that played 3 damn video ads with sound on one page, the fluster fuck that went into my headphones was deafening.
>>51697181
dunno if it was happier, you'd see the same kind of nerd rage and trolling on usenet that you see here today, just different subjects for the most part. it's more like a medical professional who starts off their career idealistic + care free before becoming jaded and being beaten down over time working in the field. we don't have those care free and idealistic internet possibilities any more.

It is because subscription is a good model. It's only problem is that if it has to compete with advert driven sites the result is usually that they are just lost in a sea of piss and few people ever hears about them.
Like why sign up for a newspaper when there are thousands of "free" newspapers out there.

Quite simple really
>>51697427
I am sure websites are just dying for the chance to reduce the number of their visitors.
>>51697015
Why do I need to give up privacy/security/bandwidth to decide if the content worth shit or not? I don't need to bite into an apple to decide if it's rotten.
Nice try, shill.
Ads are bad for a couple of reasons, one being the fact that they are a known to represent a security breach as they can be exploited, they can be used by big corporations and unscrupulous companies to steal personal information about the user, in many cases they are as annoying as they've always been.
Besides, it gives power to the user, to decide which service or content he/she wants to support, even though this is an old business model that we should've grown out of a long time ago.
>>51697459
it's really simple, if you want monetary compensation then you should offer a legitimate service, and offering words on a screen that resemble an opinion is not a service, as is the case for the majority of "bloggers" who are "speaking out" against ad blocking.
Online advertising is a bubble.

Welcome to America. Greed above all else -- they need to justify profits earned. If adverts arent working the solution isnt change the people, rather change your revenue models. This would weed out uneccessary clickbait sites anyways and people who really care about content would pay a small subscription if necessary, if the user deems it valuable
>>51696484
This a million times.
I am under no obligation to watch or hear anyone's ads and I have all the right in the world to keep that cancer out of my browser.
If ads are the only source of money you have to pay for the server hosting your shitty blog then maybe get a job or something and pay that shit with your own money instead of forcing intrusive and annoying ads down everyone's throat.
Fuck everyone who begs people to disable ad block.
I live in the US. Florida, specifically. Here, Comcast has a brutal monopoly over the ISP game. As we speak, they're implementing anticompetitive monopolistic policies by introducing stupid low data caps (250 GB a month).

>why using an ad-blocker is stealing
Retarded. I actually support the use of reasonable ads to monetize web services, but I still am a bit annoyed someone would say such a thing. The only way it would be stealing is if you had some kind of contract or agreement with the webmaster that you will view ads in exchange for using their service. No such agreement exists in order to use most websites.
>>51696386
>you all have 150 down/50 up
Why is it that I can reliably ctrl-f in these blatant shill threads and almost never find the word "malware"?
There are plenty of reasons to block ads, from philosophical to practical, but basic goddamn security is first and foremost. I find it ironic, considering 4chan has been having a problem recently with malware being served on the front page. And the admins don't really care. You can see it in their responses.
THAT is why I block ads. I don't even have to go into the objective FACTS that they are annoying. And time wasting. And manipulative. And deceitful. And resource draining. And privacy invading. I don't even have to bother justifying my position with any of that. Because the advertisers and webmasters both continue to knowingly serve malware. And they don't give a shit.
Fuck them and fuck you for starting this thread, OP. You are a piece of goddamn shit. I'm just glad normals are finally beginning waking up to this shit.

Your revenue stream is not my concern. You are putting up content, making it publicly available, and then complaining when people only pick out the "good" parts to consume instead of taking one big mouthful with the shitty parts mixed in.
There's a simple solution to that: produce content people actually want. Not just clickbait-level garbage, but something they will actually come to you specifically for. Then politely ask for money to support the production of more quality content. If the content is actually worth it, people will pay.
There are youtubers releasing all of their content for free that could live off of their patreon donations alone. What's your excuse?

People don't pay for Netflix because there really isn't very much good content on there. Not to mention ISPs throttling the fuck out of unobfuscated Netflix connections.
If Netflix had the even a fraction of the catalog of torrent sites, it would be much more successful.

Fuck off and get real jobs you whiny cunts. No one likes you.
>>51696386
>Why do you use this shit?
Because I hate being advertised at, and online ads are the biggest attack vector for malware.
>It's not like seeing ads matter anymore, it's 2015, you all have 150 down/50 up
I have shit internet. And even if I didn't, I'm the one who decides what goes across my internet connection.
>you all have fast computers. Loading a few products do not impact browsing.
Just because it doesn't bring my PC to its knees doesn't mean it doesn't impact browsing. They annoy the fuck out of me, for a start.
>And all ads have a way to mute sound now.
No they don't. And even if they did, I should not have to manually make the fucking thing stop making noise.
>Really, I do not understand this mindset.
And I *really* don't understand the mindset of "oh okay, I'll let all these ads through when I can easily stop them".
>Be sure that developers are actively working to permanently disable these addons.
And other developers are actively working to keep them going.

First they shit their pants when tivo and DVR came around so they went full product placement mode. Now the internet has replaced television and they want us to put up with that shit here, too? Oceans of kek. Now they cry and make shill threads when we pirate and block unwanted content. These parasites are a scourge on civilization. I have more respect for a homeless junkie begging for change or a prostitute than a marketer.

fucking shitty ad nostalgia. Are there any archives of these?
>>51697010
You'd be surprised. I've had normals complain their yt was "broken" because ads wouldn't show.
>>51696386
How exactly am I obligated to watch ads?
What if I did what I do with television where I mute the tv or get up and leave the room instead of blocking them?

>Loading a few products do not impact browsing.
And all ads have a way to mute sound now.
Many of the advertisement I receive tend to popup and redirect, and become intrusive.
>And all ads have a way to mute sound now.
Good to know, but I'll just block them instead.
>developers are actively working to permanently disable these addons.

I've got 1/1 because I live in bumfuck nowhere
I don't care if there's a way to mute ads, auto playing ads are unforgivable when I'm reading something.
Plus, there's a huge difference between a few TV ads that are maybe two minutes log, and advertisements that do data mining/tracking behind your back.

>Why do you use this shit?
Because I don't want to see ads, let alone the same fucking ad 9 times on a single page or something similar.
If websites want to earn revenues, provide content worth paying for then charge subscriptions for it.
>disabling adblock
Go fuck yourself
Why don't websites just block people who use ad blockers? Is it something that's not easy to do? If people can get a free lunch they're going to take it.
>>51701294
>That's fine, then you can pay for a service that doesn't need to be funded through commercials
I already pay for cable and internet, why should these services be paid for twice?
>>51705537
I don't know where this "I pay for internet" bullshit is coming from. You are paying your ISP to deliver content to you. Not one penny of that money makes it back to the people whose websites you are viewing. Your ISP has nothing to do with those people. They simply handle transferring the requested content back to you. The fact that you "pay for internet" means absolutely nothing to a website owner.
>>51705537
>I already pay for a bus pass why should I have high pay for a movie ticket?
>>51696386
You are literally the cancer that's killing the interwebz.
>>51705584
>You are paying your ISP to deliver content to you
Wrong, I am paying my ISP to provide me internet access. Those websites are providing free content. There is no contract, even implied, that I am required to view or hear advertising.
>>51705615
Nice meme. Too paid you actually pay $15 to watch a movie and still have to watch 10 minutes of commercials before 10 minutes of more commercials for other movies. Cuqs gonna cuq tho.
>>51705482
People block the adblock-blocker
>>51705482
There are sites that do that. And it's always clickbait sites.
>>51706056

Finally a man who gets it. I guess anti-adblock shills enjoy the fact that by clicking on 1 URL, they are really clicking on 200 random URLs from any random eastern european who can spend a couple euros on an ad. They're kind of like HTTP request whores, except their pimp gets to keep all of the money and they only get fucked. But at the same time, they've somehow convinced themselves that it's good to degrade themselves.

No.

Yes.
Source: my conscience.
"Blocking" (aka not requesting, or not displaying) ads on my computer is just as much stealing as coming in slightly late to a theatre to avoid previews, or closing my eyes during them.
>>51708833
the fact of the matter is that i've never signed any sort of agreement that i have to subject myself to advertisements, nor is the process of blocking advertisements in any way analogous to the act of petty theft or copyright infringement.
>>51708853
Or changing the channel when the comercials starts blablabla. OP is a faggot.

...except people are willing to squander vast sums of money on creatives, and not even particularly good creatives.
If you can't Kickstart or Patreon, then you have no talent or have no market. That's capitalism, but don't you dare fucking tell me you have no options when 1.5mil kickstarters and $60k a month Patreons are passe at this point.
>>51714030
Is that supposed to be common values for most people who take that route? If that's normal, those people are crazy for saying they have no option.
>>51714068
No, that's the very high end, but it's not infrequent.
You need to be a businessperson as well as a creative, though, and figure out what you're doing and who you're selling to. You need a plan, in other words.
>>51714030
Because every good youtuber has millions of subscribers.
>>51696386
Because I don't click the ads in the first place.
They make little to no money from ever giving me ads. Almost every company goes out of their way to make me unintentionally click them so I give them that juciy 1 cent.
I don't want a single one of them, I don't care, so I block them. Devs see no difference, I get a better experience.
And, 7 down 0.6 up, personally.

what agreement?
ads aren't blocked on nyaa even with adblockers because the ads are hosted on the nyaa domain

If Simeone give me a service free US becayse their are payd from the ads, so, imho, dont block ads is a duty. No ads = no money = no free services.

Advertising preys on the psyche and creates an anxiety by manufacturing a problem which only the product advertised can solve. It is a despicable way to make money and anyone who relies on it for income should swiftly kill themselves. Video related.
