Ads are inherently annoying. All of them. The only amount of advertising that is unobtrusive and not annoying is "none at all"

How do you guys monetize your content online? It's either selling your data, in-content advertising or normal ads. The latter being the best choice for the consumer imo.
>>
>>59040192
When they say "annoying," they probably mean it in a reasonable sense of the word that applies to people who are at least somewhat rational, as opposed to alt right professional victim speds.
>>
>>59040250
>it's totally reasonable for us to distract you and try to deceive you into spending money!
Nah, advertising is inherently unreasonable.

Fortunately it doesn't much matter, since I can still block ads on their or any other website.
>>
>>59040233
Websites of actual value don't needs ads to survive. Consumer Reports survives entirely off of subscriptions.
>>
>>59040233
This. I understand being willfully ignorant on the issue, using ad-block, and pretending they don't exist out of normal human selfishness. But to actively complain about advertising as a fundamental thing is just strange. Do people believe the free content they're accessing magically popped into existence on magical servers fueled with some magic alternative to electricity? How exactly does a thinking person whine about ads while using content made possible by ads?

>>
>>59040307
Almost every site in the Alexa 50 subsists entirely off ad revenue. These are the sites that people value the most. A subscription based model is not viable at all for most actually big sites. If Google for example started requiring users to pay a subscription most of its users would just move to Bing or Yahoo, which would allow them to have more accurate results which would cause even more users to move to them. I'm almost certain that the majority of sites you use and the majority of sites you value do not rely on subscriptions for revenue.

>>59040307
Pathetic excuse for being a jew. If a site wasn't of "actual value" you wouldn't need to use it so you wouldn't need to block ads.
>>
>>59040311
You seem to be making the assumption that I want these """content""" companies to make money and remain in business. I don't. I would very much like to see 90% of these websites go bankrupt by having advertising become a non-viable business model.

Companies that actually have a business other than ads (e.g., they actually sell something on their site) will be fine. As will some places that produce content good enough to be worth paying for. But the Buzzfeeds and Gawkers of the world will close up shop, and it'll be a good thing for the web and the world. It's why I install uBlock Origin whenever I work on a normie's computer.

I'd expect retarded logic like that to come from someone working in IT. You wanna know what would happen if advertising became a non-viable business model? You'd start to see sponsored content. These site's gotta pay the hosting bills somehow and nobody's gonna be willing to pay for them. So you'll start to see a lot more heavily biased articles disguised as actual news. I don't want this. And what about sites like Google that have undeniably provided significant value to people? Do you want them to die too?

>>59040648
if anything that means that "sponsored content" on free sites will be a good thing. Some won't be able to survive on it and will go out of business. What remains will be so obviously shilling that it will teach the masses not to trust it. And once they no longer do, the sponsored-content companies will follow the conventional advertising companies into bankruptcy.

And we won't have a "fake news" problem anymore.

It -was- more difficult in the beginning, but I think, the point is, that the internet was never created with the idea of ad monetization as an inherent right. And that's the idea that today's hosts are trying to foster - that the public is somehow breaking the "law" (at least the intended spirit, in their eyes) when they choose to block ads on their devices.

No, I'd rather not use a website at all than using it with ads and other aggressive javascript code that spy on me. People need to collaborate and make sure this business model dies.

How we expect them to make money? Thats the whole point - we don't. Either find another business model or don't be a business at all.

>So you'll start to see a lot more heavily biased articles disguised as actual news.
This is completely independent from ads and already happens (unfortunately, as always).

>And what about sites like Google that have undeniably provided significant value to people? Do you want them to die too?
Holy shit, you have no idea how much I want Google to die. Google and Facebook crafted the biggest spying apparatus to ever exist and destroyed the independent web from the 90s/00s. I'd be happy if they died and free (as in freedom), decentralized alternatives came to be.

you are cucking yourself, why waste your "valuable" time watching an ad instead of paying a small fee. If the cost of the fee isn't worth it to you, that the website really isn't worth it desu.
Once websites start moving away from ads to subscription models, you'll find out where you truely want to be.

It is not my responsibility to subsidize an existing business model. If a business model does not work because there is no market demand for it, then that business should fail. It's very simple. This bullshit circular logic you kikes employ does not affect me whatsoever.

Or you use an adblocker until they provide you with a reasonable business model.

That´s an interesting one.
They block right clicks via java script, but if you´re quick enough you can right click after a page refresh and create a cosmetic filter.
The page reloads after a few seconds and the block is back. Hmmm haven´t seen that before. I wonder how they do it, since it´s the same object with the same id that appears after the page reloads
>>
>>59049801
i tried that too

wasn't there an anti-right click blocker extension somewhere? did noscript have that option?
>>
>>59049863
>anti-right click blocker extension
yeah, but that´s not necessary, you could find the object to block with the web inspector tool in firefox.

What´s really confusing to me is that the same object I blocked reappears, not another object with a new id, but the exact same thing that was blocked.

And it reloads if you block the message.
>>
>>59049989
ah, yeah you´re correct
blocked ##d1487690831673 and after reload got
##d1487690854367
that´s a clever way of circumventing cosmetic filters
>>
>>59047787
>>59049801
This cosmetic filter always matches:
##*:matches-css(z-index:2147483647)

When applies first, the site will reload. And then, the message will still appear. Although if you add the very same cosmetic filter again, it will be hidden and site reloads again.
>>
>>59050425
So in other words, it should work, but doesn't. Message still appears although it should be blocked. I have the feeling that even if it was, the site would reload every 5 seconds anyway.
>>
>>59050434
>the site would reload every 5 seconds anyway
good point. There´s really nothing that can be done through an adblocker, other than blocking js for the whole site, which makes it useless.

You know what's sad? That ads alone don't generate enough if any revenue anymore. The fact that so many sites including 4chan and even big name sites like yahoo and forbes have malicious ads shows the true intent of advertisements: to run malicious scripts, installing adware or stealing user data and by stealing, I don't mean tracking you with a cookie but much more sinister.

I am yet to see a website that receives more than a thousand views a week function with harmless ads. Sometimes I bootup my VM and browse the internet without my routers blocklist and the internet looks almost "retro" with all these ads, it reminds me of the earlier days when all you seen was "YOU WON $5,000!

I don't want to "use" the content, I just want to read/ play it.

I wrote a scraper for every website that matters to me. It brings me new stuff automatically and bypasses every single pathetic countermeasure they try. Their bullshit makes my job easier sometimes. For example, if they rely on some obscure javascript to load content, it's invariably from some API endpoint and I just fetch that directly instead.

These fools simply don't understand a thing. They send me the data I want and rely on MY computer to stop me from seeing it unless I look at their stupid ads. These people are as stupid as game developers.

This is how retarded anti-adblock people sound.

they hired one programmer to detect the adblock program and adblock it, it can't be that hard to write a program to circumvent the script.

Small not-annoying ads are fine.
Pity they are used only on a very few sites I visit.
They, however, do not bother me at all, I do not even bother to block them.
>>
The worst thing in ad blocker blockers is that they even block people who don't want to be traced by javascript like noscript users like me. With my setup I'm still able to see unintrusive ads so I think it's pretty reasoneable. But they don't want you to see ads, they want you to join the botnet.
>>
>>59040366
Google makes money off selling information to advertising companies and selling advertising. They don't make significant money off advertising itself, which is why they haven't implemented anything to block adblocking.
>>
>>59054097
Block their blockers too. AAK does the job for 99% of sites you're likely to view.

First we need to kill JavaScript.

This is my computer.
This is my monitor.
These are MY eyes.

You do not have a right to run code on my computer.

You do not have a right to display content on my monitor.

AND YOU DO NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO FORCE ME TO SEE ADS.

This usually wins the argument.
>>
>>59054299
>This usually wins the argument
Except you are using THEIR services / websites which they have the right to put on what they want and lock out people that try to block parts off.

I hate web ads / tracking too but what you are arguing is pretty much "I´m in someones house. these are MY shoes, how dare the house owner ask me to take them off while inside"
>>
>>59039673
How is this thread still alive? This is literally the answer.
>>
>>59055651
... Except the web page is in the user's computer.

Getting angsty about how people peruse your content AFTER it has left your server is just idiotic. Usability research shows people gradually become blind to ads anyway. They silently ignore anything that looks like banner ads, even actual interface elemments. This has led to even more annoying ads that are inserted in the middle of some text in the same font to make it impossible to distinguish between content and ads.

You people are basically flogging yourselves over the fact an unworkable business model is blowing up in your faces

be fast enough to press f8 and pause JavaScript

>>59040233
The latter is most certainly not the most consumer friendly choice.
Normal ads = malware, viruses, and insecurity
For fucks sake data mining is even better for the consumer. The best is in content advertising.
>>
>>59055651
Yes. That is your right.

The argument I was making there is against people that think ad block should not be allowed, and people should be forced to view the ads. Which is what this thread seems to be about.

Nothing. Adblockers are going to continue to bring down their favorite websites financially until they can no longer visit them. Only then do they learn.

Adguard blocks whatever script allmusic is using. I'm using the program, so I'm not sure if the browser extension also blocks it.

personally i'm totally fine with ad-supported businesses being mainstream as long as I can continue blocking it

if i can browse comfortably with adblock while the unwashed tech-illiterate masses still see ads (and thus keep the website profitable), I'm happy

>>59054046
I use ublock origin but I still run the "evil" ABP acceptable ads whitelist
everything in it is just static non-shitty images

ublock origin is an exception. It can only hide but not block ads.

Block the blocker. Continue reading the site.

I don't think any of us mind a banner ad. The problem is at some point, the ads started tracking us across multiple websites, and in many cases served malware. They can't be trusted.
>>
>>59047368
I agree, with the additional caveat that they at least make some effort to blend the advertising space organically with the design, and without going full on propaganda and making it unclear it's an ad.
>>
>>59056297
Podcasts really have it made for comfy advertising. The good ones figured out that if you just have the hosts do the ad in a basically sincere manner that's unique every time and not super long, less people with bother skipping it.

Johnny Carson had it right.

LMAO IT'S SO EASY to avoid this problem, just stop undermining the free internet so you can avoid seeing a banner image in your periphery!

Just develop an Adblock blocker blocker

Every ad(all of them) is designed to get under your mental skin with psychology and manipulate you, and serving it typically involves your browser running arbitrary third party content from an untrusted source. Neither of these things are ethical or safe. "BUT IT'S FREE STOP COMPLAINING WHY DO YOU WANT THEM TO STARVE?!" is not and has never been a valid argument in any context.

Stop blaming users and blame the cancerous ad industry for failing to provide a way of monetizing content that isn't a security and mental health risk.

This is an easy problem to solve. If you get something that says you need to whitelist them then I just don't visit the site. I haven't visited forbes in like 4 years. Hopefully they eventually die off.

All those "internet ads" are useless for me, most are "Canadian pharmacy" and "Take this survey and win a iphone"; and when disable Adblock it´s always Canadian pharmacy and iphone surveys again and again.

Whitelist sites with non-shit ads. I only use adblock on my porn sites. If you're looking for porn and they want you to disable your adblocker then just go somewhere else.
