The website is full of tracking stuff (has both Tag Manager and Analytics) and has Google ads. So I am guessing what they mean is, we will not be able to know everything about you and advertise to you if you don't disable AdBlocker.

Exactly. Which is definitely not needed for a job aggregation site. This is a great site, and I really like what they are doing and going towards. I just don't like how it's littered with Google trackers, etc.

  How much are you willing to pay to remove the ads? If nothing then perhaps it was needed.

    You can have ads without ubiquitous invasive tracking. This is a common false dichotomy used to distract from the issue.

      exactly.

      Is the ad revenue the same with and without tracking? I have no experience of this, but economically, it seems unlikely that less personalized ads would pay as much as more personalized ads due to likely lower click-through rate?

        We do not have Google Ads or other Ads on entrylevel. Our tracking is Google Analytics, Mix Panel, Sentry, and Facebook Pixel. Other tracking software has been disabled since I passed my free tier haha. We only track for analytical reasons to improve UX and for bugs.

        It’s significantly less without tracking unless you have other methods of demonstrating your audience is sizable and niche.

  Payment definitely is needed, unless you're offering to host it for them. I hate ads just as much as everyone else, but if that's how they are planning to pay for hosting/time, it is absolutely needed.

    You can have ads without the tracking, just like @andrepd mentioned.
    - asdkhadsj 7y ago
      You can, with downsides. Uninformed ads have less value. You can also make people pay, and have no ads. You can do lots of things.

  But it is needed. Nobody builds a job board "just because". There is always a monetization angle of some sort.

Thank you for your feedback! We ask for individuals to disable AdBlocker so yes we can generate revenue, but also return better results that are based on your geographic location. As of now, we have 0 ads on the site. Google Ads is not functional on our site and we do not plan on flooding the site with Ads.
