Its kinda fucking crazy how many sites are doing this now. when Forbes started doing it they lost a chunk of web traffic.

Youtubers who make their living off making Youtube content are having money making ads removed from their videos by Youtube itself if they speak about the recent Syria events or sometimes for no reason at all.

Trump or congress supposedly passing laws allowing companies like google to actively sell your browsing data.

I wonder if the internet is going through major change over the next 10 years.

The best part is you can still get around this. 5 clicks from Ublock and I'm back into Forbes or KBB. Can't stop me niggas.

The problem isn't the ads by themselves - It's when a site like Forbes is running ads that can give your computer malware. Because nobody can seem to get this little detail right, my adblocker will always be up.

feels good

>"I mean yeah I am taking up some bandwidth, but it should be free! Not only should I not have to pay for something, but I also think it's wrong that they show me ads"
fucking millenial neckbeards
>"but dude the ads might give me viruses!"

The internet is a pull service not a push. I am under no obligation to see ads.

Imagine a free newsletter that had a full-page advertising insert in every issue between page A2 and page A3.
Now imagine the publisher saying you are not allowed to read the newsletter if you're a dirty millennial freeloader who discards the advertising insert.
Now imagine that this newsletter expects to not lose readership.

>free newsletter
running a web server is not free

better analogy is that the free newsletter starts putting ads in between pages, then the filthy millenial peasants start crying every time they see ads

you might think the internet is free because mommy pays the bill, but it's not kid

Try to keep up with me here.
The service does not have a monetary cost to the user. (I would not be paying more or less to use the website than to not use it, and public Internet exists.)
The provider of the service tries to make money through advertising. The user does not care for advertising and thus filters it from the rest of the service.
The only party who is """"crying""" here is you, compelled by some moral virtue to defend advertisers on a Singaporean literary critique message board.

this, also with phones, you sometimes literally are paying to have those ads load for you.

but i mean i can watch a two hour youtube vid and only have to deal with, at worst, a 30 second ad? That ain't bad.

>>16982320
>p-please d-don't block my ads
>my w-website is all I have
>it'll d-die if you don't unblock them!
Get a job, faggot

>this

I love sites like these because even if they block adblock the advertising trackers themselves get blocked for me so I dont see shit lel

I dont even know how people use the internet without adblocker

>passing laws allowing companies like google to actively sell your browsing data
