Bye then! Plenty more fish in the sea.
I really don't understand what the increasing number of sites which demand I turn off my ad-blocker before viewing their ten-a-penny content hope to achieve:
1: 99,99999% of the time I'll just go and find the same content elsewhere. Let's face it, the vast majority of 'news' on the internet is rehashed from the same handful of news agency stories, or from press releases. Very few sites are offering truly original content.
2: That 0,00001% of the time when I will comply with your demands, there isn't a snowball's chance in hell I'm going to click on any of the ads you're forcing me at [metaphorical!] gunpoint to download, anyway. Now it's a matter of principle, as you've made our 'relationship' antagonistic. You're now 'the man', telling me what to do.
So why bother? I really don't understand the thinking behind it.
