I have decided to stop using Ad Block software all together

🂿 · June 09, 2016, 03:52:10 PM

Not because all of a sudden I love ads and I want to see them, no. But because I don't want to be a leech to the problem and have the shit I like taken away on the internet because of the lack of ad revenue.

So yeah, ads may suck but possibly losing content or a website even because of ad block is much worse.

Still would be nice if Cheat actually setup paid subscriptions having no ads for like a year or something on your account, no?

i've been telling people it was bullshit for YEARS, and only now are people realizing that verb was right

I'm not doing it because you're right Verbatim. I'm doing it because I want to stop being a leech. I already knew the problems it was causing, I just chose to make a change for content creators.

I turn my blocker off for the few sites that I actually like. You don't need to uninstall the thing.

Elai · June 09, 2016, 04:42:37 PM

When YouTube introduces YouTube Red in Canada is the day I stop using adblock. Advertisements are seriously harmful.

Yeah I could have done that but it doesn't fully eliminate the problem.

They're actually the exact opposite of harmful. They make the Internet.

I know, but think about it. No ads = no Sep7agon.

That's why I disabled it because the ads here are perfect, hell, I'd tell cheat to get another banner ad at the bottom of the page just to help increase revenue a bit.

Or he can do what Bungie did on B.old and have side banners.

They're harmful everywhere, not just on the internet.

I keep them on here, but fuck everywhere else, couldnt give a damn about some youtubers Internet money.

Last I check the ads are paying for this place to even be up. Why else would Cheat have ads on here? Unless he's being a cheap jew...

June 09, 2016, 11:50:40 PM

I've always just been too lazy to install it

and ads don't bother me that much anyway

I don't know the exact numbers, but an ad on the bottom of a page wouldn't make as much as a top ad. They are paid based on placement, closer to the top = better.

I know but its not just Sep7agon. Its other places I go to as well. I could have just white-listed them but I didn't feel comfortable having the software itself anymore.

Yeah. I don't really like supporting something that even advertises itself even. Those greedy bastards even want you to donate money.
