Maybe if Forbes and Business insider would show something like this, they'll get more revenue.

Nahn those popups will be blocked by anti anti adblock (a blocker that blocks those screens)

I'm an asshole and a dick

@sam9669 That sounds like a gay porn.

No, they wont get any more revenue. Because it turn out that everyone is proud to be a dick.

In my oppinion the asshole is who mumping on the entrance page (like on the streets) of a publicly available site. Make a paid service or do it free and place ads to it but don't cry if nobody wants to see them.

I'm a dick, but only because other people are bigger dicks.

Still, it's nice that they ask you nicely. I sometimes disable NY ad blocker for websites that meet the following requirements:

1. I like them.
2. They politely asked me to disable my ad blocker instead of completely blocking the page until I do so
3. Their ads are not intrusive or disgusting, ugly banners (looking at you, tpb)

I'm currently thinking about stackoverflow or nexusmods, those guys are cool and meet all of the above requirements

a website called zkillboard.com for eve online figured this out. He politely asks you to disable it in a very small font without blocking entrance with a shit wall, and offers a means to log in and pay a nominal ammount of ingame isk for:
1) A badge of honor on your "profile" (your characters list of confirmed spaceships exploded)
2) Disables ads for several months

His advertisers do show some pretty grotesque click bait, but the eve community can handle nsfw; plus a good portion are engineers/tech savy so most blocked it by default.

Personally, there's no excuse to Whitelist ads. 3rd party content on your site is asking for malicious attacks it just tarnishes your reputation. I'd strive to provide content people want. I'm sure the zkillboard guy can now pay his eve a count forever with the ingame cash he's been given; but he's probably also footed a hefty bill for us for a long time.

That's the shitty nature of the monetization ecosystem.
