I'm sorry, but it appears you are completely ignorant of the technological complexities involved in denying a user content based on whether or not you are blocking ads from a third party provider. It has nothing to do with search engine rankings or the trivial potential of "free promotion" by sharing the content. It has nothing to do with Google at all, in fact. I'm not sure where you're even coming from with that argument.
- HappyTypist 11y agoI think the previous poster might be referring to the fact that if you click on a result in a Google SERP (search engine results page), and then hit back and click on another result (e.g. due to the site not allowing you to view the content), in aggregate that site gets a severe ranking penalty. Given the prevalence of adblock users, a site that implements this (which is not hard at all -- just check if `<div id='ad' style='height:1px'></div>` has a height of 1 or 0) will quickly drop off Google.
- bryans 11y agoMy point was that this has nothing to do with the morality of ads being delivered or blocked.
