I think adblocking did enough to spoil online ads that the majority remaining are well behaved, at least on the sites I visit. As such I don't use one anymore and get to shave some time off of browser load times.

>>60040242
Viewing a page with ads on it does not affect my finances in any way, beyond what I already pay for internet and electricity. So not only is the claim that they're "entitled to my money for viewing their page" nonsensical, it's even more nonsensical to claim that blocking ads is "denying them payment", when viewing ads does not give them any payment either. All that it's doing is choosing not to download potential malware.

I have mixed emotions about this. While I'll agree to not liking ads, they are necessary for the Internet to exist. I don't mind a few ads here or there. What I do mind is when websites have 40 on one page, make a one page article into 14 for more ads, and the tracking. If there was a happy middle ground, there wouldn't be the need for an ad-blocker.

>they are necessary for the Internet to exist
this is the most retarded thing I've read in a week

False equivalence, content is provided for free with no strings attached. A ToS the user can just ignore is not a binding contract that lets the website do whatever they want.

Adblockers do not actually "block" ads, they simply do not request them. Because of the way HTTP works by default all types of content are "blocked". Web browsers are set to automatically request certain types of content when you stumble upon them but "adblockers" are like taking a second look through the requests before you actually send them. You double check and making sure you actually want the content you're requesting.

As long as HTTP functions based on client requests rather than the server pushing content to the client it will always be possible for the end user to simply not request content they do not want.

Sorry bro, but you should have been sensible when choosing how you generate income. YouTube doesn't owe you anything, and from my understanding they are not your employer and your "contract" is agreeing to their ToS which they can change to however they see fit. My advice? Get a real job. A very small percentage of "professional" YouTubers have made it so they are set for the foreseeable future, and even then they supplement their income with other shit like Patreon and sponsors. The rest are teetering on a tight rope, especially since the furor the WSJ has caused in regards to shaming companies on to removing their ads and YouTubes typical knee jerk reaction.

>>60047144

Viewing a website does not constitute any form of agreement with the webmaster to view their ads too. Only time you can really argue blocking ads is outright cheating somebody is for stuff like ad-subsidized hardware like Kindles where you can opt-in to ads in order to reduce the purchase price.

>>60048045
It does when they clearly state in a popup to turn off your adblocker to visit this website.

>>60048052
No, that makes no difference. That is just the webmaster asking you, more directly, to look at their ads. You have not done anything to imply that you have entered into an agreement with this webmaster, the interaction is 100% one-sided.

>>60040242

>>60048071
Not trying to argue for OP's point, but in the context of a website you are actually taking something from the webmaster, since you are using their server and bandwidth resources which they pay for.

Though once again I am not trying to say that handing something out en masse for free entitles you to compensation automatically.

An author has certain publication rights. He can set the terms for his publication. If you break the terms and enter non-public parts of his website without his consent it can actually be computer intrusion.

>>60048087
This is a pretty poor analogy. Public walkways are not subsidized by the advertisements that may be displayed alongside them.
>>60048109
I'd like to see a judge anywhere in the world actually uphold that, though. I don't think it's gonna happen. First they would have to properly establish that this part of his website was in fact "non-public" and that's going to be pretty hard if he's allowing it to be crawled by search bots. Just slapping a javascript on it to obscure the page under certain conditions isn't going to be enough to prove that, certainly not in court.

Also they would need to have a way to demonstrate informed acknowledgment of those conditions on the part of the person viewing the website. Shoving a 50-page "terms and conditions" boilerplate in front of them with full knowledge that nobody is going to read that shit is going to be really shaky in front of most judges, for it to really stand it would have to be very concise and easy to understand, and it would be necessary to be placed in such a way that it is impossible to view the ad-supported content before first giving your consent.

In Europe you see many websites have a cookie warning, which you have to click through to enter a website, is enough to get the consent of someone.
I don't see how an agreement to allow ads would be any different.

It can be hard to prove who visited your website, but that's the only obstacle I see. And there is no reason why you can't make a distinction between search bots and humans. Both are two different parties. There is no legal reason why you should treat them the same way.
