>Thank You for Using Adblock
Have we reached a new meme phase?
>>55444850
Passive-aggressiveness is the sign of a complete limp-dick beta
This is how it starts.
This is how they came for piracy
Eventually it became more frowned upon by public
Then it became illegal
I knew a cuck that refused to use Adblock so he could help fund these websites.
>>55444850
How many layers of irony is this image on?
>Not using plus
Good luck with that.
Life would suck without adblock
>implying I'm going to feel guilt over this
>>55444850
What website?
You really should be using ublock origin. Much better than adblock+ or anything else.
wow, that's quite manipulative, I guess you're better off not visiting that retards website
Thank you as well for serving me a website that tells me to fuck off. Did you know I'm able to close the tab again so I do not have to put up with your shitty whining?
>>55444960

>>55444921
Yep, every time I recommend adblock I get called an asshole by friends and relatives for taking away their revenue stream.
Blocking packets from entering your machine will be made illegal in your lifetime mark my words.
There's actually people who watch youtube ads because they think they're stealing content otherwise.
>>55444850
I'm assuming then that registered users have to pay? Or do you just treat your unregistered users like trash?
>>55445078
I have youtube red :^)

It's like they are admitting that all they want to do is get money.
>>55445056
You realise he'd be entirely okay with you doing that? It'd be a net win for him, has he'd stop having to pay to serve up data to your freeloading ass.
>>55445056
You Gaymergaters are hilarious.
>>55445149
You're on the wrong board m8
>>55444850
It's called an appeal to morality. What they don't realize is that it doesn't work on random strangers over the internet.
Why should I give a shit about the person hosting the site's kids?
>>55445078
good on them
and I'm saying this as somebody who's been using adblock his entire life
>>55444850
>completely useless
So you don't care about the content you're providing? Thanks for removing any guilt I had left about not supporting your site.
>>55445155
You are if you expect not to be laughed at.

Here's what an HTML page looks like to a browser:this is a paragraph, please display this to the reader: blah blah blah something something news article blog post etc...
this is a link to an image, please also go get that and display it to the reader: https://same.website/path/to/image.png
this is a link to some javascript, please also go get that and run it: https://someone.elses.website/path/to/script.js
Note that there are no ads, just links to scripts which load advertisements. If you want people to see the ads, serve them with the page.
>>55444932
You should be happy. I actively encourage people not to use ad blockers whilst using one myself. The more other people are watching ads and paying server costs, the better for us that don't want to. Less chance of sites disappearing behind paywalls.
>>55445222
Nice trips, bad reading comprehension. Care to try again?

A moron who actually believes in potionomics.
>>55445333
Adblock is a reality of the market. If you can't make money in a market where adblock exists, your business is flawed. People have no moral or legal obligation to prop up your flawed business model.
>>55444850
Share the link, OP. I really want to see on what they've spent countless sleepless development nights.
>>55445327
Ads have been a part of the internet since nearly the beginning. They were funded by venture capital of people who were waaaay optimistic about the value of ads The market crashed, and now sites are making fractions of a cent where they once made dollars.
Make your ads non-animated banners that you host yourself or fuck off.
>>55445333
>not loading ads is stealing
My machine, my connection, my rules.
You are not entitled to my CPU cycles. It is my right to control what operations my computer performs.
If your content is worth money, charge for it. If it isn't, cry somewhere else about how people are getting fed up with malware infested clickbait blogs.
>>55445359
>Content for free, just with ads? NO WAY! That business model is flawed! MAKE ME PAY FOR EVERYTHING!
You are really not very bright.
>>55445298
Fine. You're stringing me along, but I'll bite.
>Thanks for removing any guilt I had left about not supporting your site.
Based on the OP image and other context, we can assume this is from a perspective of using an ad-blocker myself and seeing this message. In this sentence, I openly say that I'm not supporting the site. However, such a message would remove the guilt I occasionally feel for doing so. I like to (and do) support sites that provide content and services I use and enjoy, but I feel little attachment to a site that sees its only purpose as being a source of income for the creator. In this case, I would be relieved to see this message, because while I still know that I'm not supporting the site, it's made clear that it's not the type of site I care about supporting.

Do you have a point? Lots of people used to make websites as a hobby, without running ads, and considered it a privilege that people came to their site to consume their content.

>Ads have been a part of the internet since nearly the beginning.
Ads only came to play a big role when the internet suddenly mutated into a entertainment media for sheeples. This is because consumption is the only positive externality they are able to provide when accessing a website.
E.g. if you have a website about difficult math problems (e.g. P versus NP) smart people visiting might benefit you in non-monetary terms by giving intelligent feedback and providing viewpoints that you didn't think about before. However, such benefits can't possibly provided by simple minded viewers of a casual entertainment website. To still extract something out of their viewers these sites implemented ads.

>>55445479
And then you can abuse file hosts to serve your files.
An account with someone like mediafire is like $10 a month to remove ads for your downloads and get more bandwidth, storage and features.
$10 a month shouldn't be breaking your bank.
>>55445718
Bullshit. The way to do it is placing a background image with the text or whatever and overlaying the ad. The ad blocker will remove the superimposed image and leave the background text. There is no privacy intrusion so there is no law broken. It's not illegal.
Yet.
>>55445078
That's a huge virtue. The fact that you seem to imply this is a negative thing tells me you're an awful person.

But still, doing this shit with Javascript is script kiddie tier. I can block you server-side bitch.
>>55444850
>Did you know that registered users don't see any advertisement
I also know that registered users pay money to get registered
>>55445875
Now that's a strawman. You're free to avoid all advertisement the want, but do so by choosing alternatives that are funded in other ways.
To use services that are provided to you in exchange for ads, and then shitting in the face of the creator by blocking those ads anyway and leeching off the content, yes that makes you an awful person.
>>55445766
Does mediafire have an API for file storage? I would guess probably not, but you could hook that shit up somehow anyway.
I'm guess it is against their ToS to use them to serve files though, do they care?
>>55445996
The services are provided via the world wide web, and I connect to them through a web browser, and I can configure my web browser to connect to whatever I want.
>>55445941
Your post is actually opposite to all these anti-anti-adblock arguments. They offer a content without ads to those who is interesting in it and simply btfo all those people, who want to get it free of charge and without ads. That's fair.
>>55445996
Good goy!
>>55446053
While that is technically correct, it is completely beside the point and does not help your argument in any way. The technical method of connecting to websites and displaying content is 100% irrelevant to whether blocking ads is moral or not. It's like saying "Stores are provided to me via buildings, and I enter them through doors, and I can physically take items and leave without paying if I want".
>>55446090
Keep insulting me using racist internet memes and maybe you will feel better about your life
>>55446126
I agree. I think this boils down to the same question as free software: Should other people be allowed to control what my computer does and how I use it, as a condition of using their software?

You're literally too dumb to recognize what you have.
>>55446168

I should add that I only agree that the argument you responded to was meaningless, not the implied connection with shoplifting and blocking ads.

>>55446126
>>55446181
No it's actually more like I'm walking through a fairground, and there are a bunch of diseased peddlers around who pay the fair operators a commission for every filthy bauble they sell to hapless fairgoers, and I avoid them.
>>55446168
No, because I CAN control what my web browser connects to, and I CAN'T control how proprietary software operates.

People shouldn't make youtube videos for money. If people want money, they should get a job instead of taking some financially unstable income from a fundamentally broken website for business to be used on its own. Making money of website revenue is different because it's more business oriented and fair because it doesn't rely on a huge corporation. I hope every youtuber gets financially ruined by Google's fuck ups for relying on such a company. They will get no sympathy from me.
>>55446344
>I suck down every byte of ad-supported content without paying with ads, which will force anyone with valuable content to put it behind a pay wall, which I'll only know is there if it's advertised to me, thus I am promoting an internet with an utterly shit free section plastered with ads for the premium internet instead of just having quality internet content paid for with ads for consumer products which I'd have to pay for anyway.

>Does mediafire have an API for file storage?
They might for their higher tier plans, but that would be if you want users to be able to upload/share files through your site?
One option they do have on the cheapest plan is FileDrop, which is a folder you share with a particular URL that lets people upload files into it. Not the same but still useful.

Uh, no. I'm here saying that I block advertisements. I'm not crying or paying for anything.
Theyre starting to hosts the ads thesevles.
I have been to a few websites where the ads actually show but when i look at their source, they came from the same domain of the website.
>>55446665
When site owners cite their "high costs" they always make it sound like it's hundreds of dollars per month.
With smart hosting 95% of sites could probably run on 20$ or less per month. 90% on 10$ or less.
>>55444850
>Countless sleepless development nights

>>55444850
Most website owners are irresponsible sacks of shit that care about money more than the safety of their users, electing to plaster third-party ads that can and have served devastating malware. There's a reason my hosts file only blocks third-party advertising networks. Those who are responsible enough to screen their ads get the revenue from it. That's the way it works and you shouldn't deserve a cent from your carelessness.
>>55446808
People in this thread are making fun of the adblock message in the OP because it's funny.
"making fun of" is not the same as "crying about"
>>55446740
complacency is a sign of comfort. You don't feel discomfort on 4chan thus you don't truly hate this place.
>>55446774
Then why don't you go into business selling them these $10 packages for $500 if they're currently paying $1000/mo they don't have to? You could make good money.
who gives a shit about ads? nobody here has clicked on one, anyone who knows what an adblocker is has never clicked on one. only 9 year olds, old farts and dumb niggers would click on ads, and they dont understand that they can block them. you unblocking ads on sites you like does fucking nothing unless you click on ads
>>55446824
But you are. You're terrified of it all going away, and you think that if you put on a front you'll somehow convince everyone how much of a privilege it is to have you sucking down their bandwidth.

>>55446874
>You're terrified of it all going away
When I've visited sites in the past which managed to thwart adblockers, I stopped going to those sites.
If I weren't able to visit ad-driven sites without blocking ads, I would visit other sites, or do something else with my time.

stupid ad clicker
>>55446941
>>55446961
Surprisingly, yes.
>>55446919
I care about the rights of computer users in a general sense. Attacks against adblockers, especially legal attacks, are a threat to the rights of users, for the sake of advancing a business model which produces generally low quality content and little economic value.
>>55446997
why do you adblock any site if you want to see ads?
Ads would suck less if they didn't fuck up the page scroll when I'm fucking reading something. That's why I never have it off for news website because their ad placement is fucking retarded. I'd rather wait an extra 10 seconds for the whole thing to load than have it just mess things up.
>>55444850
Did anyone agree to load/view ads to view your content? No. Is it up to the user which servers his/her computer can connect to? Yes.
Blaming other people for your bad business tactics aren't going to get you anywhere.

yeah nah
>>55447004
>I have a right to whatever I want for free
No, you don't.
>>55446961
I don't want to click on ads, it's just that the most random of places of a page is a link to another page. I want an ad to look like an ad, not some sneaky page tricking me and wasting my time by having to close the tab with their congratulations or get money online nonsense.

I literally do not fucking care the slightest bit about the "collective benefit" of the advertising model.
I don't care if adblocking resulted in the web disappearing entirely.
>>55445066
Well they can take me to jail then but I wont stop blocking ads.
>>55447090
Then show me the law that says adblocking is illegal.
>>55444850
Hahahahahaha
>>55447077
>you are responsible for my shitty business tactics being unprofitable
>implying serving a person with an adblocker costs more than 2 cents
Fuck off with your shitty analogies. It isn't my problem that you can't get ad shekels because of people blocking their computers from connecting to certain servers.
>>55447090
People shouldn't make websites to make money unless it's for a business that exists already.
lol im going to continue adblocking because i'm merely choosing not to receive the ad "content"
:^)
If people were that confident about the value of their site's content they'd stick it behind a paywall. But they don't, because they know it's low quality shit that people only put up with because they don't have to pay anything for it.
No one should be guilt tripped into supporting the website. It's their decision, if I don't want to support the site then too bad, it's my decision and there's nothing they can do about it. You want me to support the site? Draw me in, make me want to support it because no one's going to forced or guilt trip me into doing it. They can just say "support us with ads" just like you would donate to a site with money. I use wikipedia and I haven't donated. Does that mean I'm stealing? Am I a thief? Are the majority of wikipedia users a thief? Tell me what's the difference, they are both optional and when people want to support it they will.

That you're here says otherwise.
Why the fuck haven't websites started freemium model as of $currentYear? i'm making a big ass webbysite with estimated alexa ranking at top 1000 one month after launching and zer oads. got 500 million euro series A startup monies for idea. zeroo ads.
really makes you think...
I block ads where ever possible. I never see any ads on any site, ever. I continue to use websites just fine. If those sites disappeared tomorrow, so what? I remember the internet before the corporate commercialization - i.e. when it was pure. Fuck you for trying to shame others into feeling guilty. I feel no shame, nor guilt, and will not feel any ever. It isn't even a question of morality like some idiots suggest; that's just another way of belittling people to heel to another authority.
Have a nice day.

Again, insisting in relying on unprofitable business tactics is your problems.

How the fuck would me browsing the website for free have negative impacts on anyone else?
>>55444850
Well... on the bright side, that "registered users don't see any advertisment" is quite appealing, as long as you dont' have to pay to register of course.

This
I can actually go as far as recommending against ad blocks and trying to shame people that use them while using them myself
>>55447371
I just don't care enough to block ads desu.
>>55445145
Blocking users is NEVER the way to go.
>>55447309
No it doesn't. You keep saying that, because you have nothing better to say.
>have a website
>no ads
>no javascript
>$60/yr just for the domain name
>running off my own basement computer on my own electricity
>not even a donate button
>mfw I'm going to continue paying for it despite it being purely a drain on my bank with no monetary return and people complain that the "free web" cannot exist without advertising
>>55447471
You can make this site disappear by leaving, yet you're still here. Therefore you have a problem with it disappearing.
>>55447490
FInd ways to make money.
I make 400-500/month from my web, it isnt a lot but it's more than enough considering thats above the minimum wage in my country.
I also do it for fun.

I can make the chair I'm sitting on disappear by throwing it away, that doesn't mean that I have a problem with this chair disappearing.
>>55447525
I might throw a donate button up somewhere once I add some more to it. I've got plans for it from which I expect to make no money, but I'll keep it going anyway.
>>55447533
Seems you do.
>>55447579
Fuck off with your dipshit philosophizing. What I am saying is that even if adblocking led to the end of the web, it would not change my opinion about it.
>tfw I unironically don't block ads on 4chan
Who else /goodGoy/ here?
>>55447559
From my experience, donation doesn't work, or it didn't when i had a donation button myself.
I don't know what your web is about but you could always give "premium" memberships.
Some people find appealing to give money away if you give something in exchange, no matter how small what you give is.
In my case, i just give members a "Leading member" flair and give them the chance to get rid of ads without adblock.
>>55447439
This
I can actually go as far as dropping nazi oven metaphors as regards to ad blockers and will even physically intimidate people that use them while using them myself
>>55448120
This
I can actually go as far as threatening the lives of their family if they use ad blockers and will even assault people that use them with my baseball bat while using them myself
>>55447371
This. Sorry you came to rely on ad money for rent. Things change and it is time to adapt. Don't think I feel any loyalty to your shit brand, especially if you are going to try to guilt me for using my pc as I please.

Trying browsing random websites sometime without any kind of script and ad blocking software. You're going to be getting pop-ups, redirects, and attempted malware installs left and right.
>>55444850
Thanks for using 3rd party advertising agencies with no oversight from you and potentially opening up my computer to the latest ransom-ware! Obviously how much money you make is more important than me potentially loosing all of my files.

Are you retarded? You're just as idiotic as the people who watch youtube ads because they think they're stealing.
He isn't saying watching youtube ads are retarded (though I think they are). He's saying that it's fucking stupid how people think they're "Stealing" or are doing something bad by NOT watching youtube ads.

>downloading certain data is illegal
I can understand this but
>not downloading certain data will be illegal
This will never happen and would be impossible to implement plus the average person would even be against this.
