Third spruce tree on the left"An ad blocker is preventing this page from loading."
No, my #adblocker is preventing your #ADs from loading. The fact that the REST of your page refuses to load if the ads dont load, well that sounds like a YOU problem.
Do any of these CMS and online-ad platform/network #productmanagers realize that if they were to just go back to unobtrusive only-static-image ads embedded in the html of the page itself I would fucking put eyeballs on those? But noooo, we gotta have modal popups and pay-gates and minimize-in-the-corner auto-play videos.
This worked just fine until 2010 then ya went and ballzed it up.
Ambient Sponge@tezoatlipoca At this point I have so much ill will towards the advertising industry that even if they went back to those I would still block the shit out of every single one.
The only reason I'm not setting fire to all advertising I see in the real world is because I'd get arrested.
Andrew Zonenberg@retrosponge @tezoatlipoca Zero tolerance is the only defensible advertising policy.
