techdoc7108yLmao! Ad block block block block block block block block.... were u listening carefully?
-
Kalvin12348yEven if I'm someone who owns a site that earns revenue with ads I understand why people block them.
The problem is not the ad itself if it doesn't annoy the user constantly.
The main problem started when many site owners started to bloat their webpages with pop ups and auto playing ads that made the users install adblock. Their greed made us all lose money. -
tirrorex2508y@Kalvin and those tw*** try to prevent us from visiting their websites if we have adblock on.
Such a pain, i mean yeah we don't bring ad revenue but there is still traffic and depending on the website potential purchase.
I personnaly decided to boycott alltogether the websites that forces me to deactive adblock, they don't deserve my money. -
Thanks everyone for reading!
I don't know why but I worked with some android apps so what I see is not ADblock, but ADB lock, which I say android debug bridge lock (doesn't exist). Well... Enjoy your time in devRant and have a happy day as a dev or designer or as a normal person walking by. xD -
Ads were fine until audio ads, hover-to-play ads, animated flashy ads, and pop-up ads became things. I disable my adblocker only on sites that use good old-fashioned unobtrusive static image ads that don't impact performance.
Big shoutout to StackOverflow and Reddit for doing amazing jobs of this. -
