Dave Bittner“We notice you are using an ad blocker…”
Yes, and I notice you are using a few dozen trackers. Turn off the trackers and I will look at your ads. Until then, we are at an impasse.

I use EFF's privacy badger, because I don't want to financially hurt anyone (it blocks tracking, not ads). And a while back Privacy Badger started getting flagged as ad blocker on many sites. Those sites can now go straight to hell for all I care.

Aaron@claudius @bittner I could get behind that, if they didn't make ads huge and flashy and full of motion so I can't even read the content. Half the time, even if I close the ad to read the article, it just pops back up 3 seconds later, so I'm playing whack-a-mole the entire time. A few minutes of that and I'm too fatigued and annoyed to bother anymore...which means leaving the site, not allowing the ad to stay in my face.
