It's too late to ask for a white list. Ads went too far and it wasn't until they started going broke from ad-block that they began to cut back on the intrusive ads.

Ad models must die.

Well that's too bad. I can't wait for all advertising revenue funded websites to go tits up. Maybe after 90 percent or so of them burns out and falls away the Internet can become a nicer place again. No more clickbait shit, no more ten item lists with one item per page. They brought this on themselves to be honest.

The good websites will switch to a subscribe model, and if they have good content they will survive. When this all blows over, and companies realize what advertising is acceptable and what isn't, then we can go back to an Internet without adblocking.

Using the Internet in its current state without an ad blocker is like committing digital suicide. Maybe all the companies should turn their scorn towards the companies out there that made people need adblocking to have a decent experience.

Adblocking is logical for consumers.

Imagine you're walking down a street lined with people all throwing shit at you. So naturally, you show up in riot gear and shield, to protect yourself.

For those websites asking you to disable adblocking, is like asking you to please take your armor off and let us hit you.

Turn your hatred towards the websites and companies that made adblockers a necessity.

All it's going to lead to is sites writing paid shill pieces instead of objective reviews, because that's the only way they'll be able to stay afloat. Guru3D is generally where I go for GPU reviews since Hilbert seems fairly unbiased and does thermal imaging, which few other sites do (Tom's Goyware does, but fuck them). Only the shittiest, most corrupt Indians will survive, like Anandtech.

...and that's the crux of it - they've created a job out of this.

What I believe to be happening is a stabilisation of income streams - web advertisers had an open playing field to begin with and they thought they always would have. They thought they could have 100% access to 100% of users and that they could base their projections on it - it's what made the web so attractive to them.

Essentially, their honeymoon period is over - what they make now is more like what they should have been making all along and that scares them because it doesn't balance with their initial outlay and the salaries they've been taking.

Incognito mode doesn't stop people from tracking you. It prevents your browser from saving cookies and history data, but it doesn't stop javascript based tracking or ip address logging. Imagine if you went to see a prostitute and you started eating her out. You rub your lips and tongue all over her pussy. You really get up in there, and then you flip her over and do the same to her ass. So then you come down with gonnoherpasyphalitis of the face and say, "How could this have happened? I wore a condom when I fucked her." Expecting "porn mode" to protect you from tracking is a lot like that.

Your pathetic man. You go on websites everyday and you would be upset if the stopped existing. But you expect the people running it to pay for it all out of pocket and maintain it without pay? Like 4chan, this website requires huge bandwidth. Moot couldnt afford to pay for the sever out of pocket. Running a websites with 10s of millions of users IS a job. More of a job then you fucking around at work being a mediocre programmer or whatever you do.

There's a balance being struck right now though. The thought that advertisers would be able to serve anything to users - even if it slows them down - and track users while they do it has led to them taking liberties, which have in turn has led to ad-blocking.

If they hadn't kicked the shit out of what *is* possible with at least a partial eye on the user's point of view they could still have had access to all of us but no, they got greedy and lost a shit-ton of us.

Tbh the only reason I installed an ad blocker in the first place was the prevalence of flashy and resource-heavy ads. If ads were simple and light, I would've been fine. Blame the advertising dirtbags instead of users.

> Ads went too far and it wasn't until they started going broke from ad-block that they began to cut back on the intrusive ads.

You hit on exactly the reason why ad blocking must continue.

They didn't even START thinking about making their ads less intrusive until their revenues dropped significantly.

This proves that they're so fucking greedy that they didn't give a single shit when the public outcry about their ads got worse and worse as their ads got more and more intrusive. Our voices mean nothing to them.

There is only one conclusion now: The only thing that will stop them from fucking people is to have their dick chopped off. Using ad blockers is a simple and logical solution, and we now have proof that it's the only solution that works.

Now there might be a few "good guys" out there who never ran intrusive ads. But the problem is that they are totally outnumbered by the greedy assholes. We're solving the 99% problem here. If 1% of the sites end up getting hurt unjustly, then unfortunately that's just collateral damage. This is war -- and sometimes innocent people get hurt in war. Just suck it up and move on.

Whining about it (like the guru3d guy) is a waste of time. He got his dick chopped off, and now it's time for him to move forward with the new reality that he's dickless. Complaining to me about it ain't gonna get his dick back.

A lot of it stems from advertisers being sold technology they didn't themselves understand, by people who just wanted to make money.

Not that I'm absolving them from any blame - all they saw was potential revenue and they grabbed at it like the greedy cunts that they are - but it points at a bigger problem altogether too.

The problem is that some aspects of big business still have no clue how any of this stuff works and they're being preyed upon by people who are tech-savvy and who have more ambition than ethics - the combination is always going to be a recipe for disaster.

Still, that's outsourcing for you.

And you shouldn't.

I can understand if a site tries a new ad service, finds out that the ads are intrusive, and then drops that service to find a better one.

But when a site keeps using intrusive ads for months and months, you can no longer blame it on the vendor. At that point, the site itself needs to be held accountable.

> The problem is that some aspects of big business still have no clue how any of this stuff works and they're being preyed upon by people who are tech-savvy

You don't need to be tech-savvy to figure out that your site behaves like shit because of the ads.

The decision to have intrusive ads is a decision that's made by tens of thousands of site owners -- individually -- to allow those ads on their sites. It wasn't the result of site owners getting "preyed upon" by unethical ad service companies. Everyone in the business has known for many years how much people hate intrusive ads, and every site owner knows what his own site looks like. It's impossible that they didn't put 2 and 2 together and realize that they were abusing their users. The fact is that they just didn't care.

What of it?

It isn't perfect, obviously, but it's the only national news that isn't complete shit. The spin leans left, but it's pretty easy to drill through to actual facts. For important issues one can always branch out and get more information, but it covers headlines, financial information, and international issues day to day well enough to stay informed about general topics.

Plus, the BBC is overrated, and I've never really liked Al-jazeera. RT is just garbage. Places like Breitbart and Slate are clickbait and little else. So, yes, I think the Times is worth spending some pocket change on.

Also I like to do crosswords.

Although I do listen to/read NPR all the time, forgot about that. Also unaffected by ads, so my ad-blocking doesn't matter there. And I'd like to subscribe to The Economist, but it's just expensive enough for me to hold off until I fix my budget. I pick up single issues instead. It does bother me that even for a product I'm paying for it comes subsidized by advertisements, but I can just not look at them. Like, some sort of will-based physical ad blocking, if you're so inclined.

I eagerly look forward to the entire decrepit ad-supported internet dying in a fire. If the work of these "content creators" had any value, people would be willing to pay for it. They are not, even passively.

Ads are known vectors for malware. So, no I'm not disabling adblock.

Either that site will go under completely, or will be reborn out of the owners' money and donations.

this.
this is the entire reason i first installed an ad blocker. having a few banner ads around isnt a big deal, but maliciously placed pop ups and shit were getting out of control.
there have been so many times when i was younger that i would accidentally click on just the wrong spot and end up with those awful phony virus detector programs, or be completely thrown to separate web pages without any warning.

What is happening here is people are taking the service on their own terms. Frankly I cannot wait until websites have to 'adapt' and are either gone or paywalled. Then you'll all bitch about what happened to the Internet ignoring the fact that you caused it.

Same here, before ~2008 when I didn't use an ad blocker, my AV would catch something occasionally because some website I frequented would start serving malicious ads. Installed an ad blocker and have never had malware since. The fact that the security situation hasn't gotten better on the advertising side in the 7 years since then is frankly unacceptable.

That's not strictly true.
I worked at a bookstore in college, and the majority of our customers came in, read a bunch of magazines or skimmed through books, and bought nothing. They received our labor for free.

Yet, magazines were still one of the greatest sources of income for us.

And archive.is isn't applicable either. That's a single article. Much like taking a picture of one in a store and sharing it online.

If someone is quietly ripping the entire website and sharing it freely, the they're sidestepping the market. But refusing to allow me to view the good or service without exposing myself to both annoyance and potentially devastating harm to my computer and data is unacceptable.

And that's only when working with the current idea of capitalism. True, pure capitalism would mean that if you can't entice more people to support your product than steal it, you're a shit business.

Either way, ad blocking is fine, and I have no responsibility to solve their problems.

This is the internet, I already payed for the service to access their page.

Stellar PR, I'm sure it really helps with that whole money shortage.

There are many free sites about technology. There will always be people giving tech information away for free online. If a website cannot survive in that market, then too boo-hoo-fucking bad for them.

Honestly we should be getting rid of these idiots who bring adblocking,piracy etc to dumb people and will continue to push things in the wrong direction until we have no freedom to do anything because they keep bringing un-needed freedom to the masses.
I understand things should be free etc on the Internet by default and that is what little ways to rebel like this are intending but I don't think it will work out the way they want it to and instead things will just become more orwellian.

Paid services that are reasonably priced would do fuckloads better than 'free' sites and services that bombard you with intrusive, irrelevant, malware-laden ads.

I've almost exclusively stopped pirating games since I got a reliable source of income thanks to Steam. Hell, I even got a mate to purchase the American copy of Saint's Row IV and PayPalled him the cash to gift it to me because of Australia's shitty censorship, even though I could've just pirated it.

If I had a better internet service than the fucking electrified spider's webs that most of regional Australia uses, I'd sign up for Netflix in a flash. The only reason I haven't yet is because it'd be pointless with my internet speed.

Admit it - so many people would pay $5-$10 per month for a Facebook account, especially if it meant removing the ads, suggested posts and page-boosting bullshit.

There is literally no quality control on ads, if you pay a company enough you can put whatever you want on their front page, from trackers to outright vandalising malware.

Either change your business or be content with lower profits, because no one with less than a million views a day benefits from ads. This is literally big business trying to use the sympathy people have for small business. I assure you, there are many PayPal buttons but no ads on my site.

The funniest thing is that they measure this shit in "money we lost" terms.

They don't lose money. I install ad blocking software as soon as I install my browser. Because of that, my visit doesn't affect them. I can go to the website, view the content and not view a single ad, and they're not "losing revenue" because they wouldn't have earned anything from me in the first place.

The same with piracy, If I download a CD I've never intended to buy, the artist doesn't lose anything.

You shouldn't.

The ads they serve aren't intrusive, but they like to borderline malware programs, and are heavy on spying and tracking.

They won't annoy you at least!
Although they will take up a third of the real estate, and look ugly as sin.

IF you cannot survive without ads get off the internet. Get a patreon or some shit Charge to access your site I don't care just don't fucking show me ads because if you do I will block them all.

Ads are still the most dangerous vulnerable part of any website and none of these site owners dare even question how awful most are. You don't even need AV software anymore but you'd be fucking crazy not to use any adblocker.

the next step they'll take is probably trying to lobby against adblockers, but that won't work. in 5-10 years, the internet will be a different place with good content behind paywalls or subscriptions, but that's fine, because historically people have always been paying for good content if it's made available conveniently for a reasonable price.

also, i also hope adblocking becoming more widespread takes down all those sleazy analytics companies selling your data for money. fuck them and fuck their greedy ass founders for making most sites a bloated mess that you can't reasonably navigate without having an adblocker.

They are talking about revenues and expenses liek a business so maybe they should start to act like one.

They are a binding legal document, you are made well aware of the terms and conditions upon visitation of a website. To use the site is to agree to the terms and condition. Even if you explicitly state that you disagree with them, but continue to use the site, your disagreement is null and void.

Hell. Somewhere in the 4chan TaC is probably a line that means they can sell our information to some curry nigger run company, and we can't do fuck all about it, because in using the site, we agree to let them do that.

That's because people will actually pay for content if

Netflix is the prime example of this. It will go down the drain for sure in the next couple of years, because they're losing licenses left and right, but it was (and still is) great. Kindle + Amazon Prime is great, too and it's working out really well for them.

I'm still waiting for a high quality Anime subscription site, though, but I'm not sure there is a market for this. I'd be willing to pay 10-15$/month for Netflix for Anime with 1080p content even for fansubs. I hate having to hoard/store all that shit on my servers.

Also, I personally know some developers and execs in the analytics/ad business and they are all without exception total fucking scumbags that don't give a shit about user rights or privacy.

If they could make money by outing you as a faggot, they'd do it in a heartbeat. Fuck those guys with a rusty rod. I hope they go bankrupt, but most likely they'll find another way to exploit humanity.

've been pondering writing to you about what I do for a while, because to be honest I am sick of things and this is the only place that might give a fraction of a shit about it.

I work in tech journalism, it's a very tiny domain and I can easily summarize my work: I write articles for tech sites. All I can tell you is that it involves tech, and I want to tell you guys a couple of things I learned.

First of all, quality no longer exists. You may think that your phone is good or your new laptop is great or your TV is pretty impressive, but it's not. In a real industry, these things would last years and not until their warranty ends. I write about shit every day and my job is pretty psychological; they teach you to use certain keywords in order to appeal to the masses and get them to buy X, we get instructed not to use source X because it is bad advertising for our benefactors and what have you. I worked for a publication at one point and my job was to write columns that were deliberately meant to get people butthurt over the matter as we gain money over people fighting and shitting about.At one point I was in a hangouts group with a team and we were basically mocking people who comment and how dumb they are because quite honestly, your average consumer is beyond retarded. I cannot honestly highlight this enough.

This brings me to my next point: comments. You ever look at the comment section and feel like you are having a stroke? Almost every comment section is fake. I know for a fact that behind the scenes, it's easier to lie with statistics than with words, and every time you see an article using statistics, rest assured it is bullshit regardless of topic. Social media buttons are all faked; the big publications get about 50 likes on Facebook for instance but they would show 5,000 on their article page to look important. It's all about the money. One time in making the official app for a news website we were debating where to actually put the content, having already covered all 4 sides with ads. Comments themselves are also fake. Every website uses filters with specific keywords and I'm not just talking swear words. Companies pay people to write bots in order to spurge mindless shit in the comment section and I recall something along the lines of using Markov's Chain algorithm to generate them.

Fuck this shit.

Finally, content. I can go on for ages and I really don't want to make this rant longer than needed so I will tell you this: stop reading anything else than titles. I'm serious. If you want, read the introductions at most, because content is bullshit. We write things solely to have a reason to bring you to a page so we can generate ad revenue from you and if possible, steal your data. That's it. Journalism is now done on an industrial scale where we get sources delivered to us via email on a daily basis, with a set of requirements like 350-450 words (350 is the industry standard, you need to talk bullshit to fill that quota) or specific images to capture people's attention.

It's bullshit /tech/, it simply is. When did we step into this shitty consumerism state? As I'm writing this I'm looking at an article about Cyber Monday praising everything about it. Keywords are 'consumer season', 'sales', 'discounts', 'offers', 'deals', almost as if I stepped through the rabbithole and CM isn't just a shitty day where you buy items at regular prices.

A trail of money is one of the absolute largest privacy complications.

The best course of action is to hope that there are enough idiots to fund websites who run ads (like old horny morons who pay for porn) to make businesses continue to create content that you can acquire for free

The difference is that only one or two or three parties have access to that trail: my bank, paypal and my credit card company. And they already have all the information they need about me (social security, address, marital status, kids, etc).

You really cannot compare my bank with a sleazy analytics agency driven by greed only.

that`s a retarded trail of thought, the most likely scenario is that several content generating websites get together behind a paywall themselves. ISPs hold no power over content that lays on someones server that isn`t theirs.

The person said that they already pay for their internet so the content provided further on should be free

If enough people were to actually think like this and ISPs saw this demand then they would turn to grouping together with these various content providers, charging an upfront fee for all the customers so they can access the content. Imagine if every social media site figured out they could make more money by making these kinds of deals with ISPs

This is what happened to TV

But the beauty of the internet, and the failing of TV, is that the next day a new facebook would pop up and a new twitter would come about but if copyright hit hard then any company large enough to stick it's head up would have it chopped off.

Sorry that you have to handles retards like this in your head everyday, schizophrenia must be a bitch :(.

Anyway there are many forms of marketing ideas you can use to counteract adblocking ya jew.

Like imagine if they did it in a form of ASCII art. Or just shameless plug in their articles. The latter would work for readers and annoy the fuck out of adblockers, they might even be able to write a js function to only append those shameless plugs if they detect an adblocker.

the thing about social media is that it has to be free to function, there is no critical mass of users large enough to make people pay to use social media, people will just revert to texting and emailing each other and social media dies out. We already see facebook quivering and buying out apps like instagram and telegram to prolong their putrid relevance now that people are getting sick of their bullshit. I strongly doubt ISPs are interested in policing an inherently unstable landscape like that with entities who are often in direct competition to them. From my experience ISPs are only interested going after people who pirate TV series because they often control TV licensing and cellular networks.

>IP protects people's rights

not anymore, because major entities have bought all the meaningful IPs, right now they can swoop down with an army of layers and confiscate any technological innovation straight out of creators hands IP is anti consumer and anti innovasion.

and they get ad rev because i visit them at work, on my company pc.

i bet if you asked any user to give a nickel, five fucking cents, it would be better than jewgle ads.

the issue is figuring out how to move the money. fuck paypal. monthly removal from checking is the next best way.

i'd gladly spend 5-10 cents a month per awesome site i go to all the time, like toms/anand/wccf etc to bring me tech news.

Lately I ran into a guy, who called me and anybody else using ad blocking software "thiefs". That we "kill" sites that runs on ads, that we are horrible people, "worse than pirates" and so on.

Can anybody explain, how can anybody think like that? What would be the next step, preventing people from switching channel on TV, when ad block starts?
