It is the sites their mistake that a lot of people use adblock, We have evolved from ads on sites, to pop ups on sites to video ads that start playing without your permission for people who use a lot of open tabs it is a nightmare... X_X...


Don't really know what you're trying to say, but I have a feeling I disagree.

What it seems like you're saying is that it's the sites fault people use adblock, which doesn't make much sense.  People would use adblock regardless of how the advertisment is done.  A lot of sites have abandoned the pop-up ads and stick with ads that run off the blank spaces on the site or something.  But there is another thing you need to know about ads.  It's that the site does NOT actually choose exactly the ad that appears on the site.  The people running the ads do.  While the site can pick from different vendors for ads, it is ultimately not the person hosting the site's decision.  Or that's what I believe how a lot of them work.

Normally sites can decide they don't like a form of advertisements...

I have no problem to go on a site like Vgchartz and see ads from games I am not interested in,  most ads are amazon related for me and are the form of ads I enjoy...

but when you have to read 500 posts in PS nation or +500 posts in the Xbo nation...and every time you go to the next page you get a pop up I can understand people don't enjoy it...and start to use adblock

I am one of those users with more than 10 tabs open and sometimes while reading a post a site decides to open a video advertisement for no reason well who would not use adblock then?
