I have noticed that some sites are forcing you to disable adblocker in order to browse the site. I wonder why. Usually sites don't care of you are using an adblocker. This makes think that it's not just about blocking ads, but it's about adblocker blocking some tracking files that are being downloaded to your computer. Does it look plausible?

It's a way for sites to tell me I don't want to visit them.

If it's something you need: try your browser's reader mode / a reader plugin, or use archive.is to grab it.

Also just another retarded A-B test question from the retarded Conspirologist bot, gathering data for it's ABC media masters, that for some reason people still continue to both respond to (giving the Tavistock operation data..) and also engage in like it's a real person.

Pathetic.

I'm going out on a limb here but... Israel.

Not important enough to warrant caps. Keep the word at its proper value.

The difference is black and White.

Actually the correct answer is jews.

They want to be appealing to advertisers. They usually get paid based on how often an ad is displayed.

[–] • 3 pts

They want to serve you ads for money and they want to be able to set cookies with those ads so they can track you.

TL;DR: Money and tracking.

Faggotry and butt fucking. That's why.

I think some of the video game sites I visit do this. They have pretty large hosting bills I'd assume(mod files). So I paid the .99 for lifetime zero adds and the banner went away.

The thing is if you're not paying for it or it's free. You're the product. Hosting isn't free remember that.

Because they need to pay for server space and their bills, and people visiting without ads are pure loss. Its normal they want you to pay to access. You dont have to pay and they dont have to give it to you for free. Are you a communist or something?

oy vey let the jews collect your data goy. What are you anti-semitic?

Haha.

Ok poorfag. They still dont have to give you access just because you want to. If you dont want to oay you dont get to enjoy what you want. Only niggers want gibs.

You’re just jealous goy, because jews are so successful and hardworking. We can obviously be trusted with gentile data and we would never do you any harm

Lol okey dokey.

Did I talk about data? Strawman nigger

Yes dr rabbi

Its not because youre a poor nigger that everythong needs to be given to you for free. If I see a website that's restricted if you have adblock I just leave. No need to come and complain here like a retarded homo.

Yes rabbi, anything else?

I think they just wanna make money

Ad blockers stop ads. Many if not most websites make their money from ad revenue. If you block the ads, as far as they are concerned, you are using the site without paying for it.

Use something smarter than an ad blocker. I use NoScript to select which JavaScript I am willing to run on my machine. It can be cumbersome at times, but NO ONE runs code on my machine without my consent and I can typically by pass ad blocker checks.

There's some sites out there that detect that and throw the same fit.

[–] • 3 pts

That's incorrect. Websites cannot detect that I am not running JavaScript as they would need to use JavaScript to do that. Instead those sites assume no one is running JavaScript and throws an error by default. If you are running JavaScript the error on the page gets overwritten with actual content. NoScript allows me to selectively turn on JavaScript. If you allow the website's domain often 80-90% of the website will function properly and you don't need to turn on all of the third party libraries and trackers.

There are a small number of occasions where this won't work but in those handful of cases (if you absolutely need the content) you can just use a sandbox browser in a virtual machine.

I'd assume that most of their users have ad blocking so it has to be disabled or the sites can't fund themselves. I notice this most on free movie/file sharing sites, where everyone is a cheap-ass pirate so uses ad blocking.

A properly set up hosts file will keep the browsers from even finding ad website pages: https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm
