I mean, if people are blocking ads how else can they get money from the traffic? When those "disable your ad blocker" popups happen, I assume that data gets sent somewhere where companies can see how many people viewed the page with the blocker on vs. not, which then makes those companies want to pay less for ads on the website, making them have to go to a subscription model. If they didn't have that, and their revenue went down, they would produce less content, have less investigative journalism making fun discoveries to us, probably pay all their employees less then they make now, potentially a great deal less, and lay off a % of their workforce while overworking the rest.

The pop-ups that ask you to disable your ad blocker only let you view a site properly once you've disabled your adblocker, so if Bloomberg had something against adblockers, they would just use that. But what they are doing is force a subscription to view their content. On one hand that will allow them to pay their employees better and get more good content on their site, but on the other hand they'll lose views for an ad-financed model.

I am sure they've run the numbers before coming to their decision and it is probably the better call for them in the long run, but it sucks for people like me who won't pay a subscription fee.

What pisses me off is googling info and finding that info locked behind a sub even though its 3 years old, I don't mind sites that give you a number of free views before you need to sub, one last observation I find it funny when I see a site filled with adds and the most prominent ad is for ad blocker.
