I won't need to, technology will naturally evolve this way.
Sites will just make a simple technology switch and host ads from their own domain rather than from 3rd party ad servers in the same manner as they host content.
-The sites will make more money as there is no way to block the ads.
-The sites will make more money as they will not allow low click through spam.
-The viewers will have a more pleasant experience. The site will be less likely to host malicious ads, scams, and annoying attention grabbers on their own servers.
In conclusion, AdBlockers are a disruptive technology that are actually making the web a better place.
- DennisP 17y agoHmm, can't do impression-based ads because the advertiser would have to trust the website to accurately report impressions. But click-based ads should work fine.
- natrius 17y agoIt's amazing the lengths people will go to in order to justify their actions. If you actually believe passively blocking ads is increasing the probability that content you enjoy will be produced in the future, you're delusional. Sharing your feelings with the sites you enjoy would clearly be a much better thing to do. You are a programmer. If you have so much faith in the model you're suggesting, build and sell software that will allow publishers to do it.
