Sites countering adblock
Recently, I have noticed a lot of sites are using ways to detect adblock, then tell you about how you shouldn't use it, and in most cases making it more annoying to have it enabled than to just disable it for that particular website. I know they have to make their money somehow, but I hate ads, I have been spoiled without them for so long. Now Blip does a thing where is takes 90 seconds before a video starts as opposed to a 30 second ad. That sucks.

Blip is an asshole about it. I've stopped watching blip videos entirely, or I try to find them on youtube.

Re: Sites countering adblock
I understand why ads exist, but forcing people to watch them, is plain rude.

Hey that is what TV is doing for such a long time ... just see we had the liberty of seeing the net with no ads and nobody likes when someone takes their rights.

TV doesn't make you watch commercial for every 5 min clip of video, and they're not the exact same video every goddamn time. Advertisers are idiots for paying for video ads. Nobody buys a new car because they saw it a bunch of times on Nostalgia Critic.

Re: Sites countering adblock
I know I use adfly, but I beleive Adblock cuts that out too. If somebody has chosen that they don't want to see ads (so they use Adblock) it should nt be forced upon them.
Although I can't work out how the companies paying for advertising actually make any money off of it, I mean nobody ever clicks those ads, nobody, more people have paid for winRAR.
And the ads all seem to be about increasing the size of ones manhood, I mean seriously, why the hell would I want to do that? Everybody knows your better off getting a Porsche

It's one of those selective things where if you let people do what they want they'll always pick the option with no benefit to you.

Ninja ads... I hate them so much.
Re: Sites countering adblock
BTW I don't get those dumb "click me to get a prize" ads but the standard ads for example showing you ... I dunno soup let's say before the start of a 5 min video do help out, not because you will now just run out of your room and go buy some soup but because when you will be at the market and you will see 20 brands of soup you will automatically go to those brands you already heard of.

The ads shouldn't be forced like some sites do.

Re: Sites countering adblock
Although ad's are annoying; I wouldn't mind it if they were varied and interesting or quick and never repeated.
On the subject of subject of ads not being productive: there are so many shampoo/soap adverts on kids/teen media, WHY WILL 8 YEAR OLD KIDS BUY HERBAL ESSENCES(first brand that springs to mind). same goes for YouTube.
It's probably automated.

Re: Sites countering adblock
To your question for the same reason herbal essences was the first brand that got up your mind - Why this and not any other brand ? That is the effect of ads, and considering all those brands are pretty much identical you will pick the first that comes up your mind.

Re: Sites countering adblock
That may be so but I wouldn't buy any fancy soaps anyway so their ads were wasted, When 3d printers take over; all these brands will be rendered useless. Thank god star trek replicaters aren't about to be released or the economy would just collapse.
(for the record I didn't try to go off topic here).

3D printing something like soap or shampoo is a long way away from what we've got. That's closer to Star Trek than today. I guess you could 3D print soap, but that printer would only be able to print soap, and you'd have to have some of the soap anyway to put into the thing. 3D printers don't make stuff; they just reshape it. They can't manufacture a particular soap brand any more than my cat can.
