I hope people don't use adblocker on that site since it provides so much value.
- arbuge 4y agoThat information is now 2 years old. With the greater prevalence of ad blockers since then, I wonder how that revenue stream is doing now.
- luckylion 4y agoProbably okay, I think the overlap between adblock users and obscure filesharing site is much larger than between adblock users and people who use online photo editors.
- Scoundreller 4y agoI think as blocker prevalence is a lot lower on mobile, especially iPhone, but that’s less helpful for a bulk file sharing service where I’d expect a lot of desktop users.
- musictubes 4y agoBlockers are easy to install on iPhone. Why would it be less?
- JCharante 4y agoThe thing that made me switch from Chrome on iOS to Safari was that I could easily install an adblocking extension through the app store onto vanilla safari.
- nashashmi 4y agoI think the owner uses adblocker on photopea. https://www.reddit.com/r/photopea/comments/11wf70z/comment/jcy416v/?context=3 https://www.reddit.com/r/photopea/comments/11wf70z/comment/j...
