- passwordoops 3y agoYes and no. OP is pointing to the forest, while your reply is focused on his tree
- 1000100_1000101 3y agoI don't use an AdBlocker. Sites need income somehow. I ignore them anyway, but they show. However, if you run pop-over-everything ads, auto-play videos with audio, resizing ads, run CPU heavy BS, attempt redirects, or other garbage ads, I simply stop visiting your site. Don't abuse your ads. Don't use an ad provider that supports malicious behaviours. Too many sites abuse their users, I agree, but you're encouraging them by still giving them traffic.
- dwighttk 3y agoThis one pierced the protection of my adblocker. For what it is worth the video doesn’t load, but the 5 second pop up does load.
