4OD, channel 4's on demand service in the UK, now detects if you're running adblock and prevents you from playing the video unless you disable it.
This will soon be common to all as based services.
- shultays 12y agoI am pretty sure this option was available for a long time. It would be common already if companies went to take that path
- robinson-wall 12y agoExcept it only checks on page load. If you open the page with adblock disabled and then switch it on, it works.
- phatfish 12y ago4OD also serves ridiculous 2 minuet broadcast TV style blocks of Ads. This is why everyone runs AdBlock on their site, and why they fight a loosing battle to try a force people to view them. Youtube adverts are tolerable, and sometimes i even watch past the 5 second skip if it is funny or interesting. 4OD ads get blocked outright.
