From people who run websites and do analytics on this stuff, the number of acceptable ads people with the knowledge to use an ad-blocker will endure is:
zero.
People say dumb stuff like "I whitelist my favorite sites and would be happy to watch a few short ads"
But the fact of that matter is that virtually no-one in the ad blocking crowd actually does this.
- kergonath 3y agoI would watch ads if the friction they caused were lower than the friction of maintaining an ad blocker and random sites that break every so often. I suspect that is the same for the vast majority of people. Just like with music back in the day: people accept a minor nuisance (either ads or a small monetary cost) if they feel they get a good deal (a smooth experience and reliable content).
- JetSpiegel 3y agoThat's why Google is removimg ad blockers on Chrome, the second friction is then infinite.
