No.

@Infrogmation /me *disables javascript instead*
-
@Infrogmation Yeah... I just won't view the site, thanks.
-
@Infrogmation I might allow ads to read the article, but then turn the blocker back on as I leave. I DON'T WANT ADS
-
The gross practice of pushing ads up our . . . came about with HTML & the web. Some of us wanted to see something different like maybe the Librarians should govern what was appropriate. We built it, we paid for it, we should have kept control. Add cookies to you list of useless code that is simply too invasive. Many of the problems that we face today could have been easily fixed had we kept control.
-
@Infrogmation If I can't access your content without ads or giving you my identity in some way, I can live without it.
-
@Infrogmation That's where the site gets the W from me. The Ctrl/Cmd + W.
-
@Infrogmation Often the ad links are how the people who made the content you're looking at get paid. Knock yourself out when it's giant media conglomerates, but smaller content creators are a different story.

@Infrogmation Time to utilize ublock origin's element zapper

@jack @Infrogmation it's not that simple. Usually when someone puts and ad link, they don't put an *ad* link they put an adservice link. Adblockers block adservices over which anyway the creators don't have control. And they may show nasty stuff (think of google ads) good faith ads always get through adblockers because most of them are hardcoded into the website so it is permanent ad put there by the creator. It is noninvasive, compared tp google ads.
So no, by using an adblocker you don't block revenue for small creators. This and the fact that patreon kofi liberapay exist -
@Infrogmation Yeah, agreed. the whole reason I enable adblockers is to block trackers not the ads themselves.
Ublock origin doesn't just block ads nor do adblockers in general.
This is why i refuse and will go on another website for the same info.

@Infrogmation using internet without protection is bad idea.
-
@Infrogmation@mastodon.online Yeah – "No"
. -
@Infrogmation Each AD BLOCKER can be disabled only for selected sites.

Even then, the content creator is asking me to disable my Pi-Hole for everyone and every device in the house. I'm not going to do that.
-
Whenever I come across this, I always leave the site; the same action goes for articles where only half (or minus) the content is visible and the rest is hidden behind a paywall!
I said: Bye and not good bye…

@Infrogmation
Your website can't be displayed with an ad blocker -> your website IS an ad -> I'm out. -
@Infrogmation@mastodon.online opens the site in Internet archive
-
@Infrogmation Even more so when I'm not actually using an ad blocker.
