Isn't this what we've been asking for? They either make $10 selling you info to marketers or you pay extra? And this is an ultra low-cost carrier. It's almost expected.
- jonnycomputer 4y agoHow about this. You land on the site, and there is a popup that says, "If you allow us to show you ads while you're shopping, we'll give you l10 off the ticket price!"
- josephcsible 4y agoNo, we've been asking for a choice between seeing ads or paying. This is both seeing ads and paying. It'd only be what we asked for if people who didn't use adblockers got their plane tickets for free.
- klabb3 4y agoAdblockers are also used to prevent tracking. You can be opposed to tracking without being opposed to ads and vice versa.
- jacquesm 4y agoNo, it is entirely unexpected and labeled in a misleading way. If they had opened with 'we are going to charge you $10 extra if you don't disable your adblocker' that would be one thing (that would likely piss off a lot of people but at least it would be above board).
- wumpus 4y agoThe ad revenue is worth pennies, and the "choice" of using an adblocker vs paying 10 pounds extra is pretty invisible. Neither of these are what anyone asked for.
- dehrmann 4y ago> The ad revenue is worth pennies I think retargeting makes it worth a lot more. Airfare is low-margin, but hotels are much higher margin. I could see knowing you're traveling to X be surprisingly valuable because you can show users targeted hotel ads when they're likely looking for hotels.
