Is everyone just not using Ublock for some reason? I never seem to see any of these things and I feel like I just followed a link to Know Your Meme fairly recently.
The Internet sucked before ad blockers. In the 1990s, web sites would spawn several ad windows. Sometimes, they would spawn pop-UNDER windows as well, so when you closed your browser, you had a nice big porn window left on your desktop. Advertisers abused the hell out of visitors and if you complained about it, their response was basically, “HA HA! F*CK YOU! HERE’S ANOTHER AD!”
They could have played nice. But once they had a chance to make free money, greed and sh*tty behavior ruled the day. This is how programs like Web Washer were born.
How much their ad-free tier costs? Can I pay without them tracking me? No? Then fuck you (website owners), I will be freeloading and will advertise freeloading.
Btw, use uBlock origin on Firefox, I haven’t seen one of these annoying screens in a while.
Edit: uh oh

I actually have a story involving GirlVinyl. She had my best friend kicked out of DEFCON one year because he showed up and did meet-and-greets with some of the women from the porno he had made and was selling, which was themed around naked women teaching you to hack.
I seem to see this “powered by Admiral” popup on lots of other websites.
Whatever this Admiral company tech is, it’s the only one that’s been able to detect my Ad blocking in a long time, has anyone been able to defeat it yet?
Ran into that a few days ago for the first time. I decided to disable for that site just to see how many ads and to see if the content was worth the effort.
First, it was a bunch of ads. Secondly, the content was good but not that good. I enabled and searched anew.
One of the positives of the AI ad page shitshow defining current search engines is that pirating written content has never been easier. In all likelihood, there’s a full site rip visible by simply searching for the contents of an article, recipe, book, whatever. Bonus, no ads.
Aside from being cringe, this I can very much understand. It’s not that the ad itself is so bad. It’s them being data hog and making shit unreadable to the point where literally there are sprinkles of useful(or not so much) information here and there. I can understand this kind of popups. Even the cheapest VPSs are not free. Can’t really blame if there’s a continue w/o disabling.
