Europe's largest newspaper by circulation bans users with AdBlock

  Finally we'll have some good data about user tolerance especially if this is really some high profile/high value news outlet. So far not many went as far to ban users afaik.

    Well, it's a pretty 'shitty' Newspaper, but it's sold (and presumably also read) by many Germans. Also, you can purchase a 'premium' account on their website and (according to their own advertisement for said premium account) '..receive UP TO 90% less ads and UP TO 50% faster loading times.' Go figure.

  Their paying version is actually quite acceptably priced really, so if I was a reader, I'd probably already be paying... What irritates me is all the others who think they all deserve £9.99 a month. Everyone wants £9.99 a month, even for services/sites you might use twice a month or less. The sooner they realize it's not acceptable for users to have 5 or 8 of these going, and they need to readjust their prices, the better they will be...

  Every change that stops people from reading this awful newspaper should be welcomed.. though I somehow have the feeling that few of the people using AdBlock actually read Bild..
