Nobody is against publishers blocking access to ad-block users. But if 80% use ad-blocks, you block out your entire audience and let it surf to the competition

But if 80% use ad-blocks, you block out your entire audience and let it surf to the competition who figured out how to serve ads that are not making people puke (ie. sponsored stories, endorsements, non-intrusive ads, social selling etc.)
It really is the fault of publishers that people hate internet ads.
- nraynaud 11y agoI think it's the same reasoning with paywalls. I stopped going on pando when they paywalled. I don't see why I would pay to read Paul Carr feuding against the Intercept, the entertainment value is mild, and frankly I would better use my leisure money at the pub or for renting movies.
