I personally have adblock disabled on Google itself, I want those ads. I still block adsense though.
On one hand, I'm blocking some of their potential impressions for their lower margin, add-on, commodity product. On the other hand I'm making supply of their higher margin main product more scarce, more valuable. I'm not sure th net effect is too worrying.
Of course this is anecdote but maybe I'm not the only one.
- mahmud 17y agoYou are willing to give money to Google but not the site-owners who produced the content you consume? I don't blame you though; great majority of the sites don't have monetizable content, no inventory for them.
- netcan 17y agoI don't care about giving money to sites or to Google. I use Google ads (click on them) and they don't bother me when I don't use them. I don't use most other ads and often they bother me. Purely selfish. I use Google a lot & I know that I want the ads. For everything else, it's easiest to blanket opt out. Many sites (particularly Israeli news sites which I read sometimes) have ads that bother me a lot.
