My own response to sites adblocking adblockers has just been to stop visiting those sites.

    Me too, and I'm trying to figure now if its a matter of laziness or that the content wasn't juicy enough for me to lower my ad blocking defenses.

      I'd guess the latter. Wired has become pretty lame the last several years. I loved it as a kid but it's just crap now anyway. Mostly just top 500 things to buy lists anyway.

    I tend to do the same. Specially since I am only using Firefox's tracking protection. I don't mind seeing adds. So I am not blocking ads, just trackers. Figure out a way to show me the adds and I won't mind. Back in 97, webmasters would upload ad.gif and host. Come up with a way to track those and problem solved.

  My problem is that I love free things. Instead of blocking ads if I go to a website which has ads I don't like then it's just forever dead to me and I block it. I get the internet that I want and the websites I like get paid. I just browse with noscript and all that stuff if I don't want to be tracked but if I'm just going on netflix and facebook it's not a big deal to me. Edit: obviously I don't expect everyone to agree with me on this but it works for me pretty well and I'm happy to contribute revenue to the sites that I enjoy
