- libertine 5y agoYou're saying that while commenting on a HN post from a company that sells analytics solutions, with a piece of content showing that Google Analytics it's getting blocked a lot by a specific type of a audience. Like... hey guys, you know, if you want to sell to these folks maybe you should consider an alternative to GA, right? Why didn't you ignore this? This is fine for you, yet an AD that's it's clearly identified as being an AD, with, literally, a defined area - it's not.
- fortran77 5y agoHN users think they're too smart to be susceptible to ads, but I'm skeptical! I think ads work. I block ads not because I'm anti-ad, but because 1) it's nearly impossible to browse the web at all without an ad blocker and 2) Malware has been delivered via ad networks, sometimes on otherwise reliable websites that were duped into running the ad. I'd have no problem with ads if they appeared as ads used to appear in a newspaper - static content between articles that doesn't distract or interfere with my reading experience.
