Ive actually implemented this locally. I reached a breaking point with some of the intrusive ads, so I block ads. If a site(such as Wired) asks me to turn that off, I add it to simple blocker and dont go back. The funny thing is a) I have a print subscription to wired but I cant access the site without turning off ad blocking, and b) I dont miss the online version. If Im just being honest with myself, its doing me a favor by preventing procrastination.
- logfromblammo 10y agoI also have a print subscription to Wired. I don't pay for it directly. I use the airline miles I occasionally get from any company that puts me on a plane at their expense, just to keep the remaining balances from expiring due to inactivity. I usually don't even take it out of the plastic overwrap, because my eyes don't have ad-blockers installed. I guess next time, I can spend some miles on a cheapo flashlight keyfob, or something. I guess I was just sort of throwing them a bone out of 90s nostalgia, anyway. If they don't want me looking at their website on my own terms, I won't do it. And if I stop looking at their website, I don't have much use for their inky paper, either.
