No, my #adblocker is preventing your #ADs from loading. The fact that the REST of your page refuses to load if the ads dont load, well that sounds like a YOU problem.
@tezoatlipoca Usually I find a way to use my ad blocker to block the thing that is blocking me from using an ad blocker.
FWIW you can usually report this as a broken site to your ad blocker and they'll probably fix it, but sometimes if it's actually important I might just fire up TOR or something. Let's see what your advertisers can do with that!

My favorite version of this is, "We care about your experience."What, are you afraid it might be too good?

@tezoatlipoca youtube's whack a mole with ad-blockers are equally annoying, I use Ublock origin on both Firefox and Chrome and they sometimes videos take a long time to load, keeps on buffering due to enabling ad blockers.

“Please consider turning off your adblocker to view this page.”
“Okay!”
“…It’s still on.”
“Correct!
”
“…But we asked…”
“You sure did! So I considered it, and decided I wouldn’t. But thanks for looking out for my security sense though!

@tezoatlipoca every site I've seen this on so far ended up having garbage generated content anyway

@tezoatlipoca When a website says “we need to talk about your ad blocker,” I think “No. No we don’t.”

Do any of these CMS and online-ad platform/network #productmanagers realize that if they were to just go back to unobtrusive only-static-image ads embedded in the html of the page itself I would fucking put eyeballs on those? But noooo, we gotta have modal popups and pay-gates and minimize-in-the-corner auto-play videos.
This worked just fine until 2010 then ya went and ballzed it up.
@tezoatlipoca At this point I have so much ill will towards the advertising industry that even if they went back to those I would still block the shit out of every single one.
The only reason I'm not setting fire to all advertising I see in the real world is because I'd get arrested.

I had exactly this discussion with a minor news-paper here from germany. The mindset: we need ads to survive. And tracking would help us to understand how our site is used to make better content.I said: yes, ok, but then I wont read your news. Sorreeee! xD

@tezoatlipoca I turn down website instead of my ad blocker.

Agreed, I started blocking when they were still flash ads with no frame limit. Which made my Linux pc want to take off.Technically I’m not running an add blocker.
I block third party JavaScript, that it also blocks 99,99% of all ads, that is not my problem -
