The better question is, is this the future we deserve?

USA Today is an embarrassment of a national newspaper anyway.

I've seen them reporting anonymous reddit posts as facts in their articles.

Go on and save it. It's all yours, my friend. :^)

Because the news companies that needs ads don't have a demographic willing to pay for their shit.

How does it feel major news outlets, tv programs are all paid shills paid to spout bullshit, lies and fake opinions into your mind?

Fuck News organizations, hang em all.

>>55981817
The creation and publication of software which empowers the user to choose what they do, or do not, want their user-agent to load, and to create, curate and manages lists of the same, is free speech.

I will never turn off my adblocker or stop pirating shit

If I'm going to be a slave to technology for the rest of my life I might as well soften the impact

>>55981531
This is why i never recommend adblockers, even if i use them myself.

The more people use it, less useful they become.

>>55981531
Free speech means the government can't prevent you from speaking your opinions.
It doesn't give you the right to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre.

>>55985073
False. The more people refuse adverts the sooner the normalfag web will die. The web should have stayed non-commercial. Install an AdBlocker for a normalfag today.

>>55985073
what sort of false logic is that?

>>55985870
>The web should have stayed non-commercial
to me this seems like an inevitability, so much so that I can't think of what "non-commercial web of 2016" would look like. do you perhaps have an idea?

>>55983882
>Hillary Clinton sort of, kind of, almost
Impressive... so this... is the power of a female president.
I can't wait for her to sort of, kind of, almost enact meaningful changes for the better.

Last semester at uni I evangelized my entire CMST class. Had to browse the web to get a PPT while my thinkpad was hooked up to a projector and people asked why there was all the white space on the sides of the page. Told them about UB:O and showed them how simple it was/how many ads they are forced to see without realizing it.

Most didn't even know what an extension was.

yes, this is the future we wanted

>>55981531
Just stop reading that shitty site.

They can serve up simple ads without using all kinds of tracker cookies.

Plenty of other news outlets.

>>55983882
I haven't seen the liberal press work this hard since bush/dukakis -- yes, I am old enough to remember that. :(

>>55986010

the only way to truly combat popupblockers or needing to register to see something is when sites like Pintrest actually format the site to literally stop you from scrolling it without being signed in.

also i think New York Times or Post has something similar where only a portion of the article is shown until you become a member


also a lot of the popular porn streaming sites have started throttling your connection if it sees adblockers and they throw something stupid like "our videos have known issues if you use an adblocker"

but then you can just save the stream with DTA in firefox (since their jewish buffering speeds are too slow for single threaded chrome/opera downloading unles you want to wait an hour for a 10 minute porno)

People pay money to read Consumer Reports and they accept no advertising revenue. Yet they still have the money to buy a bunch of overpriced products to test.

People donate to Wikipedia but they don’t get anything as a reward. Even the freeloaders get the same access as them.

If your content is worth a damn, then people will pay for it.

>Someone shouts FIRE
>You shout 'Shut the fuck up im trying the watch the movie'

consumer reports is a non-profit

every other post is about how much they hate someone but if you dare question the narrative you get a round of salty replies from anons spouting the latest sanctioned talking points.
