Fight Internet coercion -- boycott Wired. Don't link to their articles, don't visit their site, don't accept their coercive behavior. Ad blocking is not a crime, it's a right.
- daveloyall 11y agoI don't ad-block, but I do null-route hosts that I don't enjoy receiving traffic from. Some hosts make my browser slow and don't contain content I care about. So they are 0.0.0.0 according to my hosts file. Wired somehow detects that I'm not talking to those hosts and punishes me as show in that screen shot. I don't like it. Wired's own webservers are NOT null-routed, so they should serve ad content from their own webservers if they want me to view it.
- ArbitraryHobo 11y agothey should serve ad content from their own webservers I'd love for more sites to do that. Unanimated, non-tracking, same-domain ads are the most acceptable.

- jrnichols 11y agoForbes went the same way, and same with Computerworld. They think that they're being slick, but they've just lost readers instead.
