While there's obviously nothing wrong with directly asking users to not adblock guru3d, the long-term solution is definitely to find another business model.
I'm not a regular reader of Guru3D, but would it be a stretch to imagine that the community would willingly pay $1 a month to see the content you put on the site? Maybe you can shuffle only people with adblockers to the paid version of the site, and allow people with ads to view for free.
- intrasight 11y agoI pay to use the Consumer Reports content. I think if Guru3D became the 'Consumer Reports' of gaming hardware, then they could probably get paying viewers. Here's some other ideas. As long as they are doing test builds, how about selling detailed instructions for those builds. And if they get all this hardware donated by vendors, how about selling the rigs they build. Perhaps they can get a "brand" markup - sort of like selling NASCAR pace cars.
