Something went wrong. Please disable your blocker on AndroidPolice

No, i don't think i will. How bout i just leave your site instead?

Ya, how dare a website gets revenue to pay their writers and server host.

They could show you where the ads will be placed and display a non-intrusive message saying please whitelist this site, then I would consider it.
If they aggressively ask me to turn off my adblocker with pops up and such, then I am just going to leave the site or block the popups. Sites push the most cancer ads and are then surprised when people want nothing to do with them.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Okay, and when you wonder why websites shut down, it's because people like you.

Leaving the site is fine. Blocking their pop-up is just stealing their bandwidth.

You're the reason many websites have become pay per view, which then I'm sure you bitch about. Nothing in life is free. Either you pay to access, or you view ads.

It's actually sad that you're upset that a website is asking you to disable Adblock so they can continue to fund their website, and provide you with free content.

Ads are malware (sometimes literally, I think there was a post about exactly that in this very community), everyone should be in control of what they see on their own device.

Blocking their pop-up is just stealing their bandwidth.

Lol, I bet you wouldn't download a car either.

I am willing to pay if i must, but not with ads. I dont use any particular site enough to justify a subscription, but i would be perfectly willing to pay say 1 millenero (0.001 monero) to read the article.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

So you're basically saying you're not willing to pay at all, because crypto is not real money.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

And I'm willing to pay tree fitty for iPhone 15. take that.

This is not your kindergarten playtime where you set the price and pay it with fake money. Shove that crypto up yo…

I am willing to pay if i must

of course bud, we believe you. πŸ’―

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it gives you the option to continue without disabling lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Oh, i did not see that. Oopse

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah I don't notice a lot of the time with these websites too. They're really good at hiding the option to continue without disabling ads

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Got the same on Vivaldi(mobile), then I opened the URL in Firefox(mobile), and I guess thanks to uBlock origin, I was able to read the whole article.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I used firefox to open it, but i have a DNS level adblock in place.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, DNS adblocking has its uses, but it's a lot less versatile than an adblocker in your browser. Your point is valid, though. If the website is going to fight your adblocker, maybe just don't go to that website.

Works on mobile with adguard and chrome.
