So are you going to disable your ad blocker when you're being provided with a service?
You're destroying the delicate economy of the Internet.
>>52991036
Yep, as long as the site only serves static images in the sidebars.
And doesn't have a fixed header on mobile. Not that that has to do with ads, I just fucking hate it.
>>52991059
Oh, I guess for video sites I understand video ads. But that's it. Nobody else.
>>52991059
But the site owner needs money the same way you do
Nope, I press F5 a few extra times. That will show 'em.
>>52991036
Ads are much worse for the internet than adblockers, they are known propagators or malware.
Ads are immoral, running a website with a harmful revenue method is harmful to the internet.
I'll never disable my adblocker, even for sites i like

Who's the dummy now? :^)
I prefer to pay for subscription services or contribute to content creators directly through donations / purchasing merchandise. I already pay to access the internet via my ISP. If something is useful to me, I will pay for it.
>>52991089
The site owner should get an actual job
Maintaining a website isn't very time consuming. If their job IS the website, ie: publishing, they should paywall that shit. Oh, but then they would have to make something worth paying for and put out new content at a reasonable rate... so hard. Work is too hard. Ad money pls!
Also, the ad-funded internet necessarily gravitates towards low quality, because nobody concerned with the viewed content is actually paying, and nobody is holding anything to good standards except a few autists, but "creators" are still getting money and making more of the same shit that inevitably devolves into clickbait like a cave lizard eventually loses its eyes.
>>52991089
Okay, cool. So serve good ads and I will turn off adblock. Did you not understand it the first time I said it?

We're talking about respectable ads from valuable sites you're stealing from
>>52991165

You literally can't, even youtube has had it happen multiple times
>>52991036
Here is the real problem with ads. THEY ARE ANNOYING! We need to find a new way to deliver ads that are subtle for the consumer,dont distract or get in your way and be effective for the client.
Video ads which u can skip after x secs are a good ( not perfect) guideline.
But I agree, ads are important for some services and they pay content creators and they provide free. I get it but it needs a change.
>>52991165

Respectable ads are unintrusive and don't force you to watch them.

You can avoid that by not using malicious ad"blockers" like ublock origin that hides the ad.

>>52991189
No, those are convenient ads
Youre just being entitled and think everything should come freely and easily

Video ads are acceptable for videos. Unskippable video ads are cancer when they're longer than 7 seconds.
>>52991141
This is ok
Anything else is NEET mentality desu
>>52991211
I don't see a meaningful difference.
Thinking ads are a useful way of making money is not entitlement by any stretch of the imagination.
>>52991196
Websites let a third party put code on their site, that they don't personally audit
I can't trust the website themselves, I have to trust the third party ad host, why should I trust them?

Most 4chan users block ads. Most 4chan profit comes from the optional passes. Ads = only necessary for sites nobody actually likes.
Remember the leak of how much fucking dosh moot made off passes?
And even then, the model of one loser hosting a server for a massive userbase might come to an end someday, and there will be no server bills for anyone.

How about no? Even if we disregard libretards, there are different ways to go about advertisement.
And forcing me to watch the adverts and tracking my every movement instead of just using something subliminal? Not cool.
>>52991211
No, I think that the fucking advertisement industry should find unintrusive ways to advertise their product.
A small banner with an advert that takes up a little space like those on, e.g., nyaa.se? Acceptable.

Are you retarded? That's exactly the kind of throttling scheme the ISPs want to push. As soon as that becomes a thing, you'll be torrenting your chinese cartoons with 20KB/s.
I don't care about the internets economy. Fuck it up. I do allow ads on 4chan though.
>>52991036
you're a fucking idiot who doesn't read anything of value anyway
Ads are why websites track their victims. Content is no longer the reason why websites are made, advertising is, and luring people to see the ads and get tracked by your 600 JS scripts is the idea.

I agree with this.
The internet was pretty tolerant without blocking ads 15 years ago, notice that? Greed.
>>52991512
I'm glad you liked the idea, maybe next week can lessen laws to let them walk all over you since you so much enjoy that.
>>52991493
You do realize certain tier ISPs have already gotten in trouble for intentional throttling right? It's like it's already not happening with the FCC takeover. Plus detectI'm of throttling isn't even a hard task when you can monitor and show that they either a) must be throttling or b) sold you a service that they could not provide
>>52991549
15 years ago 10% people weren't blocking ads and that number wasn't growing extremely fast.
But I'm guessing ads weren't quite so shitty with the slower connections. I don't remember much from when I was 7.
I'll never disable adblock. It would be great if all ad driven sites disappeared.
>omg why won't you pay me money for my shitty videos of me playing videogames j_j
the internet was fine before jews realised they could make shekels from it, I have no qualms with destroying the 'delicate economy' of the internet if it means it will go back to how it used to be, pre-normalfag corporatisation
>>52991036
The only content I consume is essentially worthless to me, as it is simply white noise, much like music, which I do purchase or use spotify for. As an example i usually listen to youtube videos in the background.
I simply refuse to listen to or watch or look at ads so they are blocked on all websites.
Ads by their very nature can never be unobtrusive, they have to grab your attention or they dont do what they are for, gaining someones attention and forcing some commodity or service in their face.
If a website decides that they dont want people blocking their ads reading, listening or watching their content, it is their choice and is perfectly understandable, but I will simply remove my bookmark to their site and never use it again.
get out jews we are not disabling adblocking

Enjoy crying about people blocking ads, because it won't change anything. Screw you web designers. Your only purpose is to market a website. You don't contribute anything; design is not content. The internet will be better off when the ad bubble pops because then it can focus on content not marketing.

>but you're already getting free content

>but you're not actually doing any WORK or PRODUCING anything
they're speculating with my presence on the internet, my spending potential and my societal relevance. I ought to get something in return, something I choose to get.
>this is completely one-sided. Think about their needs
That's their fault. I can send them all the emails I want asking for an appointment but they wont listen. They never scheduled a sort of online meet up so we can discuss our business relationship. They're the ones that don't even acknowledge us as equals.
I wouldn't use a site which forces me to disable my adblocker simply due to security. We cannot rely on ad companies to serve content that isn't riddled with malware because tracking users with spyware is what they want to do and would do if they could.

Never again. its not just ads now. Find a new way to make money that isnt bad for the consumer
Why does a website have/need acces to what addons the user have? Excep media players that no one uses(?) shouldn't that info be unavailable or should be spoofed or something?

>not using your HOSTS file to blocklist ads
AdBlock detection is script-based. Either use NoScript to disable the detection scripts, or use your HOSTS file to blocklist ads instead. The latter method can't be detected unless the site is actually requesting some kind of verification from the advertiser that your IP had successfully loaded the ad, which is extremely unlikely and probably doesn't happen anywhere.
I don't even have an ad-blocker installed. My HOSTS file has managed to block everything that's been thrown at my computer without any issues.
I don't care about ads. I only care about the fact that it tracks you.

Anyone who completely disables their adblock or who doesnt have adblock software in [current year] is a complete retard.
Though white listing sites is a completely different topic and totally fine if you think the site you visit deserves ad money and the ads are malware free and not very annoying.
This has lead me to whitelist 4chan for example.
>inb4 enjoy your malware

No site has a future when they apply this payed model.
If reddit or 4chan would gate the site behind a paywall they would lose literally ALL their users and free websites that people like me would provide in this case would gain a few.

TVs don't stop me changing channels when adverts are on, I don't see why I should be forced to view ads on the internet.
The internet was much better pre-social media, jewtube, and monetization.
The golden age of the internet for me was 2000-2004 when webmasters made websites for the fun of it and the best they can hope for in terms of ad revenue was just paying to keep the site up.
It's funny when they try to use some kind of overlay.

I agree, German engineering is on par with the Swiss and Japanese in terms of quality.
If only you guys had style like the Italians.
The internet is a pull medium, not a push medium. I am legally liable for the code I allow to run on my machine and as such there's no reason to allow any website or marketing cunt to shit me up with ads.
It's definitely not my issue they chose to attempt monetizing the internet like a push medium.
>>52996978
>I don't see why I should be forced to view ads on the internet
I agree.
The reason is because some entitled merchant believes that the stupid goy must be force fed ad-garbage in order to be a good little consumer. How dare you make the decision to not only reject ads for meaningless crap you won't buy, but, protect yourself from potential malware!
The brainwashing has long started trying to guilt people into feeling bad for rejecting ads and it's quite amusing.
