InfrogmationNo.
disorderlyf@Infrogmation Stop doing autoplay fullscreen ads for softcore porn mobile games that don't exist and point to malware downloads then
J@Infrogmation can confirm.
Oneironaut@Infrogmation *sigh* Right click, inspect element, delete

Too bad this doesn't work on link shorteners. No download link for you. :(

Stoneface Vimes@Infrogmation indeed. If it's a choice between disabling my adblocker or missing their stuff then sorry guys, no visit from me.

@Infrogmation <closes tab and never returns>
HerrHerrmann@frang @Infrogmation … and downranks/blocks the website in the Kagi search results!
nLupo 
@Infrogmation That usually means "close this website" for me.
Jack Graham@Infrogmation Often the ad links are how the people who made the content you're looking at get paid. Knock yourself out when it's giant media conglomerates, but smaller content creators are a different story.
Chairman SteveIt's ok. I just won't read their content. Therefore I have no moral obligatin to them. I'm fine with that.

LovesTha🥧@jack @Infrogmation pretty much every good and ethical ad gets around all blocking methods.
clouderst – Listening to 153 LW/AM –@jack @Infrogmation it's not that simple. Usually when someone puts and ad link, they don't put an *ad* link they put an adservice link. Adblockers block adservices over which anyway the creators don't have control. And they may show nasty stuff (think of google ads) good faith ads always get through adblockers because most of them are hardcoded into the website so it is permanent ad put there by the creator. It is noninvasive, compared tp google ads.
So no, by using an adblocker you don't block revenue for small creators. This and the fact that patreon kofi liberapay exist

C++ Wage SlaveEven then, the content creator is asking me to disable my Pi-Hole for everyone and every device in the house. I'm not going to do that.
𝘋𝘪𝘳𝘬@jack @Infrogmation The Web is a pull medium. Websites are merely guest in our browsers. We decide what content is shown.
Patrick@Infrogmation add to that "Install the app for a better experience"
z3r0@Infrogmation dare me!
Flipper 🐬🏳️🌈@Infrogmation I click the back button to disable, right?

Sorro@Infrogmation the computer the teacher has to use at university doesnt have any ad blocker extension installed
today, the history teacher wanted to show something because it would add to the explanation, and there was a huge ad that said "click here for FREE ROBUX"
internet ads feel less like ads and more like scams
Ari [APz] Sovijärvi@Infrogmation No. And if I'm really required to view the site, the nag popup gets nuked too.
@Infrogmation We hate ads! We hate paywalls! Hey, why have so many journalists lost their jobs? Why is there only cheap AI slop left?
kirih@Infrogmation I don't know how anyone surfs the web anymore without an ad blocker. Its lunacy out there. H NO!
Jon F@Infrogmation I don't care if the content creators are "small". I block (therefore I am).
technomancy@Infrogmation my website: "oh no, it looks like you don't have an ad blocker installed! you better go fix that, please! I can wait, go do it now"

Jack William BellWorst part? They could totally show ads without trackers through their own servers and my tracker blocker (I don't run a fucking ad blocker) can't stop them.
Hell, I'd even be good with that. Show me the damn ads.
They. Just. Won't.
Kristy@Infrogmation It's an instant back button for me.
Anthropy@Infrogmation websites that do that instantly become entirely optional to me tbh. I could probably hack my way there by having javascript disabled and/or deleting the right elements, but frankly there are enough other things to do in the world and in the end 99% of the internet is optional, and it deserves to feel optional when it does this

I'll never disable my ad-blocker! No web site has unique enough information that cannot be found else where with some effort.

Bond. James Bond.It's amazing these businesses really don't understand I'd rather not look at their site than disable my ad blocker.
John Carlsen 🇺🇸🇳🇱🇪🇺If a web site tells me to disable my ad blocker, I might look for a cached copy at archive.ph . If I find one, I might share the link to the archived copy, to save others the hassle of seeking it.
Enrico@Infrogmation /me *disables javascript instead*
Bradley 
@Infrogmation Yeah... I just won't view the site, thanks.
@Infrogmation I might allow ads to read the article, but then turn the blocker back on as I leave. I DON'T WANT ADS
The gross practice of pushing ads up our . . . came about with HTML & the web. Some of us wanted to see something different like maybe the Librarians should govern what was appropriate. We built it, we paid for it, we should have kept control. Add cookies to you list of useless code that is simply too invasive. Many of the problems that we face today could have been easily fixed had we kept control.
Tonya Marie 🏳️⚧️@Infrogmation If I can't access your content without ads or giving you my identity in some way, I can live without it.
Christopher Snowhill@Infrogmation That's where the site gets the W from me. The Ctrl/Cmd + W.
Lilith Silverstein@Infrogmation Time to utilize ublock origin's element zapper
@Infrogmation Yeah, agreed. the whole reason I enable adblockers is to block trackers not the ads themselves.
Ublock origin doesn't just block ads nor do adblockers in general.
This is why i refuse and will go on another website for the same info.
Conny Nasch@skedarwarrior @Infrogmation I use DuckDuckGo which blocks tracking and phishing as a matter of must. 😊
jablkoziemne@Infrogmation using internet without protection is bad idea.
This is Hell
Δestiny Μ@Infrogmation Yeah – "No"

Petr Blažíček@Infrogmation Each AD BLOCKER can be disabled only for selected sites.

"OMG, I've been spotted by network security!" 😂
Ｐｅｎｇｏｕｉｎ.ＢＳＤWhenever I come across this, I always leave the site; the same action goes for articles where only half (or minus) the content is visible and the rest is hidden behind a paywall!
I said: Bye and not good bye…

Your website can't be displayed with an ad blocker -> your website IS an ad -> I'm out.

Stomata@Infrogmation opens the site in Internet archive 
World Basement Classic@Infrogmation Even more so when I'm not actually using an ad blocker.
ON4BAM@Infrogmation No! There's a reason adblockers were created you intrusive, spying f*cking m*r*ns.
Left the site to never come back.

Richardus@Infrogmation To bad for the site. There are enough other ones.
