Not a fan of the ad block detection. I'm probably not going to click on bloomberg links any more. I already stopped clicking fortune links. I'd appreciate if there was a weight against sites that used that personally.
- sokoloff 10y agoI don't even use an ad blocker and got the popup on load.
- NegativeLatency 10y agoSounds like you need to enable anti-anti-adblock filters in your adblocker.
- CyberDildonics 10y agoYou can use umatrix to block certain elements of a web page, so you can filter out the popup and the semi transparent layer.
- JohnTHaller 10y agoI don't think a single 8 second-ish pause per day is that obtrusive. You're getting decent content without paying for it in any way, after all.
- robocat 10y agoDidn't see ads or popups... I have JavaScript turned off (Chrome on Android).
- tuna-piano 10y agoHow should the author of this article be compensated for writing it- if not through ads?
- jblow 10y agoBy people paying to read the article.

Advertising puts an upper limit on the value of content it's possible for you (or anyone) to see. With advertising, you are never shown content that is more valuable than the ads you're being sold to. Other payment models allow you to buy more expensive content than your time is worth to advertisers. Hence why very expensive content (like popular feature-length movies) are rarely paid entirely by advertising. Even with hundreds of product placements and an expensive ticket, movie theatres still have to overcharge for concessions to pay for the movie.
