The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

I've got both uBlock Origin and AdBlock Plus. Though soon as I read this I looked up at the top and both were missing. Checking extensions, they were both corrupted. Had to repair them....dunno how long it's been or when it went down. I can only guess since yesterday. Since I caught up on a comic I read on deviantart and it had ads popping up. Still loving the comics I've come across recently too. I like letting a large number pile up before I go read them all. So it was over 70 pages I had to read. With weird ads at the bottom right I wish weren't there. I thought it was just dA since I've known it has those.

I didn't mind little banner ads here and there when they weren't being intrusive and were politely embedded in the rest of the page without being disruptive.

But wow, you turn the adblocker off and the swarm is almost immediate. From what I've heard, Youtube has become a cesspool of ads going off constantly. Songs getting disrupted right in the middle to play ads and getting more ad time than actual video time are just a few of the problems I've heard.

[Chakramaster]

Yeah YouTube was craaaaazy full of ads until I got AdBlocker. Now I have YT Red though which turns off ALL ads. So I don't have to worry about it even on my phone.

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah nah I got adblocker because the ads on crunchyroll were annoying but I've treasured its uses elsewhere.

[Chakramaster]

lot of places now are requiring you turn it off to even view it. Like CW to watch the Supernatural episodes that I missed.

[Neo Emolga]

Yeah, I wouldn't do that. Any site that forces you to turn off an ad blocker is not one I'd stick around with.

I know, I feel bad for sites that depend on ad sponsorship, but ads have just gotten too intrusive and disruptive lately. Since it looks like there's no way to fairly compromise, out they all go.

[Chakramaster]

Yeah I can understand their reasoning, but it makes things more risky and annoying on sites. Some make enough money and shouldn't have to rely on it though.

[Noblejanobii]

Yeah I can't use Kissanime anymore which sucks but their ads were getting out of hand anyway.

[Neo Emolga]

Do these places at least have a paid subscription service to remove the ads?

Because if they force you to take off the ad blocker but give you no other way to kill the deluge of ads, that's lame.

[Noblejanobii]

Kissanime might? Idk I know Crunchyroll does.
