Can we please stop linking to bloomberg? They're approach to ad blockers is terrible.
- tener 10y agoHuh? All I get is a small, not really annoying popup. I have seen stuff that was way more irritating.
- jlebar 10y agoFor me it has a countdown timer, makes you wait for five seconds. Of course, uBlockOrigin's "block element" makes short work of this.
- chinathrow 10y agoAgreed. I have no adblocker on mobile chrome but DNT on and get the same warning.
- mmanfrin 10y agoThey've also been appearing a lot recently. Consistently 3-4 of the top 20 links.
- philjohn 10y agoShock horror, people want to be paid for the content they put out. Wired and Bloomberg are the only sites I have AdBlock disabled for as they keep them unobtrusive.
- marklubi 10y agoI would say that the auto-playing video with controls that aren't focusable or usable is worse. Couldn't stop the video from playing without deleting the object via Firebug.
- mikecsh 10y agoI'm more interested in the content of the linked article than whether it offends someone's sensitivities. Bloomberg articles linked here tend to be interesting and of good quality.
