A couple of years ago, I remember Ars Technica ran an experiment for a day or so when they blocked end users who run Ad Blocker. (http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2010/03/why-ad-blocking-is-devastating-to-the-sites-you-love.ars http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2010/03/why-ad-blocking...)
I recall it generated a lot of negative feedback, but at the same time, I'm surprised it hasn't been copied more widely: If you're the kind of person who's willing to use Ad Block on a site that's providing content financed solely by advertising, I would imagine you're also the kind of "customer" that at least some of those sites would prefer not to have.
- BiosElement 15y agoNo, it generated a lot of people writing Ars Technica off. You notice they stopped? They didn't like their analytics taking the plunge.
