Has someone tried out to give his own view?
It feels it doesn't address the other reasons people use ad blocking:
- Fewer HTTP requests (Still have to do all the ad network requests)
- Less tracking
- Less CPU/RAM usage (Even if there is no render of ads, still have to process the JS from ad networks)
- emergentcypher 11y agoThis is why I won't be using this. I don't want ten different ad network javascripts being loaded and running on every single page, along with whatever assets they want to load up and all the tracking they do across websites. And tracking is a huge one. This is no longer just a question of whether I'm supporting the site I visit. Whatever your site has to offer is not worth the all-encompassing tracking that the networks are doing. If it is, you'll have a subscription fee I can pay and your service will be valuable enough that I'll pay it.
- Reedx 11y agoI've been using it for about 6 months. I don't use ad blocking, so it certainly helps. When it happens to replace all ads on a site it feels good, but that's unfortunately rare. :/ I like the idea, but because it's so random it falls into an unsatisfying place most of the time. Really I'd rather it work for most other ad networks instead, since AdSense is among the least offensive. If Google manages to get other networks into the system, it could be really nice.
