I wouldn't even mind ads if they weren't so obtrusive. The ones that take up 70% of your screen between one liners are the worst.

And then try using a VPN and you’re like some kind of criminal and you have to identify 37 crosswalks and busses. And that shit’s all broken anyway so you have to do it again when their integration with whatever captcha service is fucking up.

oh my fuck literally. i had to do like 6-10 recaptchas back to back the other day because i wanted to go to google.com with a vpn.

It's so funny when people don't have any blockers and the same websites you visit just look like online casinos.

[-] thehatfox@lemmy.world 29 points 1 day ago

I honestly don’t know how they do it. Whenever I get handed someone else’s device without an adblocker I find it almost painful to try and use.

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 5 points 1 day ago

I just straight up install a adblocker.

[-] LittleBorat3@lemmy.world 3 points 22 hours ago

Don't tell them anything either because they will say "I like ads wtf!" or some nonsense like that

[-] BonerMan@ani.social 2 points 21 hours ago

Then i take the device away and give it to greatfull people.

This website is great!

Sees it in Chrome:

Like a late-stage GeoCities website when the server-side Javascript injection had gotten completely out of hand.

Advertisers should pay people to watch ads, why do they expect attention for free?

[-] rockstarmode@lemmy.world 3 points 23 hours ago

They pay the business who owns the ad space, who in turns pays the website or app for their space. You pay for the app or website content by watching the ad.

It's a terrible model, but you are being paid (in content) for watching ads.

[-] nifty@lemmy.world 1 points 22 hours ago

Yuck no, I pay for the content not the ads. That implicit arrangement is false advertising then

[-] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 2 points 23 hours ago

I'm pretty sure advertisers a scared of paid ad free subscriptions

[-] illumrial@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago

Praise be to the glorious adblockers this day and all days. Amen

Nothing makes me happier than going to read an article and clicking “no” on the “please disable your ad blocker to support us” pop up.

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 18 points 1 day ago

I often see “continue without supporting us” or “continue without helping us”

One of my favorites “just continue, my boss wanted an anti adblocker but we both know you won’t disable it given the choice”

[-] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 1 day ago

I'm seeing more sites now not even providing the option to click "no". I can't remember the company that provided this library but I feel like any hackers (ahem you assholes who are hacking the IA) want to do some good, they need to be taken down a peg.

It seems to be the same company. If I find it I'll update this comment.

[-] Cruxifux@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

If they don’t give me the option I won’t read it.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 day ago

You see popups?
