I think youtube does it right by letting you skip them.

Thats good stuff and i agree.

However, some people use adblock because some sites we enjoy use far too many ads that make most PCs run like shit.

How?  If they make ads that are in the background that are okay everyone would be fine with ads. But if you make ads that actually prevent one from doing what one wanted to do  then how are those ads good? They are an obstacle.


Also when its the 10th time that e.g a COD Video is preventing me from watching something Halo related  I will start to HATE COD for that stupid commercial.

If its a cool designed  static AD without sound and without flashing animation etc.  It would be completely cool.
  The web worked like that a long time ago  and one day people were like "hey site if you dont use our annoying ad we wont give you more money you will get the bare minimum" and some dumb sites said "okay lets do it" and it got worse and worse.

If everyone would have agreed to NOT have this shit then every site would get the same amount of money for static "cool" ads than they now get for annoying ones.


Also if ads would be "reasonable" then noone would need to use adblock and the ad-revenue would automatically increase.  Its the same as  annoying shitty  anti-pirate measurements  that result in MORE pirates.

Thank you. Ads should be inconspicuous, something that is passive in nature, that you just notice and are like "oh, that's kinda cool".

Ads that are straight up in your face, refusing to let you access a video or website until you click on them or let a timer run out are complete BS and far too prevalent, and make me hate the product more than make me interested.

Patcher comes down as a condenscending moron getting too worked up over crappy practices that shouldn't exist.

I have to admit, that was damn funny. Pachter just earned a modicum of respect from me.

Now, if only he'd use the terms "scumbag" and "idiot" when addressing Geoff Keighley...

I think sites are going to start getting tougher on adblock in the near future

Not all ads can be skipped.



MoHasanie on 18 May 2014

Wow, he completely over reacted but he is right. And besides, adblock won't last for very long. Its great now, but advertisers won't pay websites if everybody starts using adblock, and so websites will all do something to stop adblock. Its just a matter of time before it happens.
