Service quality is inversely proportional to advertising revenue. Why would I let poor quality services profit off of me when they can’t even provide me with the answers I seek? You appear to have this idea in your head that it‘s independent websites running the bulk of advertising, when in fact it‘s SEO scams and low quality services like Google. If a website provides me consistent value, I chip in a few bucks, but as it stands I will never turn my Adblock off.
- shiroiushi 2y agoYeah, there seems to be some kind of assumption by some here that just because I visit a website, that they're entitled to some money for that visit (in the form of ad revenue). Sorry, but no: I usually visited that site because they made themselves available, frequently dishonestly with SEO, through a Google/Bing search because I was looking for some information. Much of the time, when I visit a site, I don't find the information I'm looking for, and instead find a bunch of low-quality, low-effort "content", like "blogspam". It's a waste of my time. I can't know the site is garbage until I visit it and see for myself. So no, I reject the idea that these sites are somehow entitled to money for their "service". If they go out of business because of my ad-blocking, I'm not going to miss them.
