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?

They can choose from a list, but they don't ACTUALLY choose WHAT it is, since they're only HOSTING is my point. They have some control over their ads, but sometimes there really isn't a choice. It's kind of like how you may have the illusion to choose not to have a car. Depending on where you live, you can actually use other forms of transportation. But in some places, if you choose not to have a car it is also essentially choosing not to have a job or a good life in general. This applies to sites with advertisements as well.
While certain situations might make people want to enable adblock onto a site, another thing you need to realize is that you're also opting to cheat and use a service for free and not in any way help out the situation. The problem here is that there really aren't very many other ways for many of these sites to operate and choosing to adblock can lead to the site eventually disappearing or downgrading to something less than what it was before. There are plenty of potential risks and I do NOT blame the sites for that. I think it's mostly the peoples' fault. Of course, as a business, you should also be trying to find ways around these tendency. However, don't come crying when a site you like shuts down for something like this.
