STOP USING ADBLOCK SERVER IS NOT FREE PLEASE I'm sick of

>SERVER IS NOT FREE
I run a self-hosted website. No ads. No money. No problem. It's been up for over a year now with no problems.
Why? Because I wanted a website. It's not turning a profit, and I don't expect it to. In fact, it's costing me money every month. It's well worth it.
If it's not worth it to you to deliver your message to everyone who goes to https://your.name.example.com/ then don't do it.

>>61455873
>No money
You eventually pay electronic fee anyway. There's no free lunch.

>https://your.name.example.com/
Domain is not free too.

>>61455912
Yes, if you kept reading, you'd be able to tell from context I meant "no profit."

>>61455936
I respect your hipster mind but technology is for applying(= making money with it).

If people couldn't get any profit from media(including internet), Eventually, there will be only propaganda and illegal things.

>>61455738
i don't block ads, i block malware.

>>61456052
You turn off adblock when there's only good, not harmful ads then, right?

stop releasing your content for free and get a job then

or whine at your shitty Ad host and make them stop using cancer ads that make it impossible to browse a website or try to infect my computer.

fuck you

>>61456012
>ifs for applying(= making money with it).
If you get a call from your friend who wants to go bowling with you, chances are you'd get in a car (technology) and drive him to the bowling alley (application). Where is the "making money with it?"
If you have something you want to say to millions of people, you put it on the internet (technology) so that people can acquire it and read it (application).
If you have nothing to say, then it makes sense that you don't find that worth it. If you just want money for nothing, then it makes sense that adblock would be an issue for you.
>Eventually, there will be only propaganda and illegal things.
So which one is your post? Unless you're getting any profit from your post here (which is on the internet) then it must either be propaganda or illegal.

>>61456071
Think before "you've won an iPhone" days.
Or 4chan ad's pre An Hiro. Where they're there but don't get in the way. And may show you something you want and not redirect you to some dodgy site, or unrelated item.

>>61456081
>get a job
I already have a job and it's called 'web developer', faggot.

>>61456111
>If you have something you want to say to millions of people, you put it on the internet (technology) so that people can acquire it and read it (application).

Internet != Blog

Imagine television/movie markets where everyone pirates and adblocks. What do you expect? An utopian world filled with hobbyist? No, Only(or Mainly) state propaganda will be released.

>>61456111
>it must either be propaganda or illegal.
Let's not play with words. Internet is not only for communicating.

>serve 5 MB of javascript to deliver a news article a few kB in size
>muh server costs

>>61456277
This.

The fact is that the adblocking problem began when the resources needed to load articles became substantially less than the ones it took to load ads. It's ridiculous

>>61455738
Find other ways to get money, dude

>>61455738
>server cost
cheap as fuck

>>61456228
>damage control
>Damage Control
>MAXIMUM DAMAGE CONTROL

Back to step one: get a fucking real job nigger. You are literally shitting on the internet and except to be paid for it.

>>61456228
>What do you expect?
A number of things:
1) For starters, people like you and me talking will still exist without either one of us getting paid.
2) Businesses who do real things for people having a place where people can go order those real things. Hey, look at that! People can get paid on the internet without ads!
>Let's not play with words.
These are your words exactly. Don't backpedal.

I don't want to be bothered by your shitty ads.

If the only options are see ads to consume your content, or not see your shit at all, then I'll choose to not see your shit.

Stop serving malicious ads. Don't pretend it's only small, shady sites with this problem. Read an article, dumb nigger.

>>61455738
If you make better content I will turn off adblock.

>>61456228
>I already have a job and it's called 'web developer', faggot.
it's not a job if you dont get paid.

if you release your shit for free you have no right to whine about not getting paid

>>61456336
Like Amazon? It will exist anyway, I admit it.

>>61456407
wow really? But most people don't btw

>>61456430
>for free

OP here. since It's 1:30 am here, I'm gonna sleep. goodbye

>>61456453
>>61456473
Thank you for conceding that >>61456353 was right.

>>61456453
>for free
yes, that's the fucking point of this thread, idiots complaining about not getting ad-revenue because they release shit for free

Like I give a fuck about your problems

>>61456473
I thought you were Indian at first, but this post points more evidence at you being Australian, if you're telling the truth. I'm not sure which is worse.

>>61455738
Ads were a huge mistake for mankind.

>adblocking """"technology""""

>>61455738
I refuse to stop blocking ads until the advertising industry stops its immoral practices. The advertising industry tracks people, fails to check ads for malware and uses mental manipulation techniques to fuck with people heads just to make them buy shit.

Tell me your website so I can whitelist it, then.

>>61455738
I could not possibly give less of a shit whether you make money from your website or not. Take it down if you can't afford it. Nobody will miss it.

>>61455738
No one fucking cares.

You want to know what was a worse invention then adblock?
Internet ads.

>>61455873

>>61455738
i agree, you stop using adblock

get eye cancer

>>61455738
People should avoid using adblock anyway. It only hides the ads. Use uBlock which actually blocks them.

>>61455738
Stop relying on a failed jewish business model. Launch a Patreon, start selling merchandise of your site, stuff like that. If your content is worth reading people will pay to support you, if it isn't then tough luck, nigger.

>>61455738
adblock isn't the mistake

ads are

tell your business partners to stop abusing your customers by taking away their privacy, security and mental health

>finance me my hobby pls ;_;

You can start by by paying for my petrol

>>61456071
I only have adblock turned off for stack overflow. The ads are relevant to me and unobtrusive there's no bullshit. I have yet to notice another site where this is the case

>>61455738
Well perhaps companies should have thought there would be backlash from shitty / malicious ads being put on webpages. If ads weren't so intrusive then adblockers wouldn't have taken off.

ADBLOCK=no money=no incentive=shit tier content

Are you guys actually his retarded?

Up until recently 4chan was hosted on a fucking mac mini lmao. Why do you have to pay for that? Greedy bastards.

>>61461258
NO ADBLOCK = money = content created specifically to make money = shit tier content

See how easy it is to argue this way.

>>61456012
I respect your inability to read but
no wait you're just retarded

>>61456012

Get out.

>>61456228
>Imagine television/movie markets where everyone pirates and adblocks
More independent content coming from people in their spare time, rather than a bunch of (((hacks))) pushing their muh Calvinist liberalism on saturation mode. I see literally nothing wrong with this. Clearly your head is stuck in the hierarchical producer-consumer paradigm because your income depends on it.

>>61455738
faggot

>>61455738
If you can't afford your server, don't. 99% of sites are worthless anyway.

>>61461258
You got it backwards boyo.
Money = shit content.

adblock will fade away when it's got such a hold on the public that advertising companies have to make non-invasive ads for real products and services

i would happily disable adblock if 90%+ of the ads I see weren't
>clearly scams
>highly invasive (pop-ups, fake DL buttons)
>breaking site CSS
>massively increasing load times

/g/ hates steve jobs but there's no doubt that he was on the right track with where ads should be going. he knew that people would only grow more wary of ads if they continued to be low-effort, scummy clickbait.

make ads an actual, useful avenue to connect people to relevant products & services and people won't mind seeing them.

>>61455912
The anon literally stated he was ok with paying the costs because he enjoys putting out his content to whoever wants it and believes the cost justifies the value of his content to other people.

If your're so sure that your content deserves a monetary reward, then set up a pay wall; make your users pay a fee to subscribe to your content. But oh wait, they probably don't value your content that much and you know that. Stop being a leach on the system anon.

>SERVER IS NOT FREE
Then charge a fee. I'll stop using your site, and you won't have to deal with my adblocker ever again.

>>61456936
What's wrong with imprinting images and names on peoples minds so they instantly think of them when certain topics are brought up or cetain objects are placed in front of them? Sure it sounds kind of "false idol"ish, but what's wrong with a little flase idol worshipping?

>>61459866
uBlock, uMatrix, HTTPS Everywhere

Is there anything else a person needs to browse the web these days?

>>61455738
The web would be a better place without ad-dependent sites. Facebook, Google, etc can fuck off, as well as all blogspam and referral links. Ads basically exist to trick people into doing things they wouldn't normally do.

>>61455738
AdBlock is a problem created by adtech industry. You fucks got too greedy, the ads became too obnoxious and people got sick of it. Every action causes a reaction. And now it's too late. So fuck you. Internet is better with an adblock, I'm not turning it off.

>>61455738
they probably woudln't get autoblocked if you didn't literally label them as "ads" in your fucking web page's source code

>>61462084
if it was that easy don't you think that big sites would be doing it?

there's a variety of mechanisms in ad blockers for targeting elements beyond searching for a fucking attribute named "ad"

Adblock never would have been a thing if not for disrespecting bandwidth, popups, self playing flash/audio and malware vectors. Advertisers did this to themselves. They have no one else to blame.

>>61455738
Don't post Hatate beside such terrible bait ever again.

>>61462189
this

>>61455738
go away hiro

the internet is a pull technology not a push technology
when i GET the webpage it comes with the website's structure but also with ads.
i just choose not to pull/GET those ads.

>>61463303
HTTP/2 has push requests. Your browser is free to ignore them though.

>implying I'd actually willingly click on an ad even with adblock disabled

>>61455912
I bought 4 domains for 4$ (2 years).
Tell me how much cost that is motherfucker.

>>61455738
Blame advertisers for making shitty, cancerous, malicious ads.

If they weren't jamming an ad in every spot on the page and making 50 pop unders, I wouldn't block them.

We need to go back to static ads, JavaScript and flash are cancer

>>61461948
Decentraleyes is cool, eh reduces loading times and doesn't afriad of tracking

>>61455738
Sorry, I don't like those auto fullscreen "INSTALL THIS ADDON TO CLOSE THE TAB" bullshits or ads in the middle of the page. I usually disable my ad block every time I'm reading or watching something interesting. When they stop using intrusive and shitty ads I'll stop using it.

>>61455873
>.t communist retard that fell for a meme perpetuated by big companies like apple to force autistic retards into doing things for free

i bet you think open source software is a good thing too

go ahead autistic retards, keep programming yourself and others out of jobs and further commidifying your careers

I'll stop using adblock when every ad in the world is confirmed not malicious in any way

Until then, rekt I guess

>>61465477
But open source is good for you, anon.

just use noscript and disable flash you mong

no use in arguing with a brainwashed idiot thats so cucked he thinks oss doesnt harm programmers

I am a programmer and I like open source. It's helping me, not hurting.

Enjoy your botnet, goy.

>>61455738
Fuck you, I will use adblock for the rest of my internet life

I will also use adnauseum to click ads for me and make advertisers lose money
