Everything worthwhile on the internet does not require ads.

But 0.07 cents is nothing

This is why you can enable ads on sites you want to make money from displaying ads.

Ten years ago, I would have answered this question

Today the sites I have in mind are either evolved into cancerous ad-site networks or bought out by one

I kind of agree to a point that adblocker will ruin the web, however I'm very careful of what I let into my subconscious. I don't consume anything shallow or mainstream, and advertisements create mental clutter and destroy your soul. I'd rather live a pure life of watching beautiful art films like The Cremaster Cycle on my gentoo machine, I don't taint my mind with nonsense

>>52612984
Yes, internet is not free. That;s why i pay my ISP for.

If I knew the internet was so easy to kill I would've started ad blocking sooner....

I only enable it for sites that have malicious/intrusive/obnoxious ads. If anything, owners of those sites owe ME money for infecting my computer with malware, wasting my time, wasting my computer's resources, etc.

Good. Let it all burn. The internet was a mistake.

>>52613382

Try making a real living instead of cluttering your shitty blog with ads.

the whole ad model is obsolete. people get payed less and less for ads and most of us are sick of seeing our Google Play games or apps full of annoying advertisements.
also OP ur a big fag i bet u think ur pretty smart for defending the current ad system lmao

>>52612934
Ads can be malicious and privacy invasive, I'd rather block them all than bother with selective blocking.
>you're killing the Internet
If we don't the US government will anyway, may as well make the ride a bit better and look at some actual scenery instead of billboards.

Once they stop making 2 minute long mandatory ads, pop ups and annoying shit, sure

Nah, ideally it really should really work both ways. The internet isn't a Minitel.
But yes, and as someone who started his life working as an intern in the online ads industry, fuck ads.

>>52612934
>you have no right to decide and control what your computer downloads and displays for your from a random site.
Just because there are script tags and links on your site it's not mandatory to download and run/display all content. It's my computer, I do whatever I want on it and if I decide to run an ad blocker it's my decision and you can't do anything about it.
>b..but it's stealing
It's not. If you don't like adblockers than don't display your main content for people that use them. It's really not hard to detect.

Ads as a business model were doomed from the very moment the fake close button was invented.

It would be fine as a static element (and probably a lot harder to block), but with all the animations and tracking bullshit, it is simply unacceptable.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I use the legacy captcha instead of the retarded street-signs captcha.

>>52614210
Yes, that's right goy. You're stealing the ad creators money when you illegally download and view those ads.

The new price to view ads will be $1 per ad. We're practically giving them away at this price, what a deal.

I don't get peoples obsession with ads. A much better alternative is a simple donation button on your about page. If people like your service or whatever it is that you are hosting they will donate money to keep you going.

I use electricity and I pay CompanyX that provides it.
I don't pay the advertisers, that place their ads on the CompanyX property that is near highways and such.
And when I pass by them, I choose to ignore them by not looking, just as I choose to ignore web ads by either not looking or using adblocking software - as if not looking at it - adv. company has no business of forcing me, which way I choose to ignore it.

Women dressing a certain way can't fuck up my computer, track me, etc. Ads can. It's cool that they want to make money, but since they've chosen a method I've decided is too risky to allow on my machines (let alone the fact I've nothing to lose from them not being there), I block their money.

Also on the topic of content creators
>view content
>think it's complete and utter shit
>creator still gets rewarded because an ad loaded along with content
Why do you think it's a good idea to give people money they don't deserve. If the person truly creates content I enjoy I will willingly give them money.

>>52614559

I think the Internet just makes all of these problems more visible.
Socially awkward people have always existed, before they would read books, then comics, then TV shows, and now the Internet.

I miss the YouTube that didn't give a shit and just put out content out there for free. Now it's all muh patreon, muh shops, muh placement products. Someone has to pay for the servers, yeah, but it wasn't this bad.
