Comments for How to block Adblock

Is there anyway that I can hide content if the script detects AdBlock Plus? Thanks. :-)

I'd like to play devil's advocate for a moment. :) Sorry for the late reply.

I'm also a content provider. I do stick ads on some of my pages but I'm not out to rape every visitor in their face. I don't mind if people block my adverts.

I think it's easy to say that, when you're a "small time" content provider. I don't mean to sound insulting when I say small time, but I've look at this site's metrics, and it's hosting plan, and it's clear you're not spending more than $100 a month to run it. That's hobby money. So of course it's no sweat off your back if people block your ads, because this is your hobby, and you don't mind spending the money out of your own pocket.

It's a completely different ball game when you're a big time content provider, with big time servers, and big time payrolls, etc. I don't have to tell you the difference between hobby, and business, and businesses don't run on hopes and dreams.

It's their connection. Their experience.

You're not entailed to your own person experience when visiting a website, anymore than when visiting a McDonald's, or your local bank. If you walk into a McDonald's, and there's a huge annoying neon sign promoting some burger, you don't have the right to tear it down to better accommodate your dining experience. It's the restaurant owner's prerogative to structure his business how he or she chooses, which may include big annoying signs. If you don't like it, you have other dining options -- Like the Burger King across the street.

If you don't like that your favorite tech site is flooded with ads, then go somewhere else. You have other tech site options. It's arrogant to think you have a right to tear someone's business apart to better accommodate your personal experience. You wouldn't do it at a McDonald's, so I don't understand how you feel justified doing it at a website.

On my site I am now adding a message to people who have adblock installed - do you think this is too much and/or might aggravate some people? If you have adblock installed you will see the message on the top right column. Just looking for some feedback, thanks-

It is possible to block Adblock using CSS and a bit of nouse.

I am not a lemon.

Count how man people just installed AdBlock and disable everything just not even thinking what they do! All of my friends did that. Personally they dont care - they dont want to see any ads. I pretty sure majority of AdBlock users did that, only few people are reasonable with AdBlock.So I think it is Ok use AdBlock block or use some fancy advertisement mechanisms.

You completely misunderstand the internet.

The ENTIRE HTTP PROTOCOL is designed for a "request-only" basis.

What makes you think you have the right to logically force people to request bullshit that they don't want??

DRM only applies to content protection. What content are you trying to protect? Bullshit?

Remember. Request-only BASIS. Not "I tell you what to fetch". Understand the medium first before you start yelling DRM.

There's no content protection in place... you're more like content "enforcement" haha. on a medium that you don';t have the right to chose what to push. kk.

How is this different from the request-only basis that the cash-purchase protocol (i.e. as practiced at McDonald's) uses? Additionally, since the protocol is request-only, does that mean that every server must provide the desired content for every request? Or is it legitimate to have the server decide when to provide what content, or do you consider basic auth evil too? What about websites that require login? Should your bank expose your financial data to me if I can figure out the proper request to send, or do they get to decide not to adhere to "request-only"? Whew, it seems like someone should amend the HTTP protocol with a list of business situations when it's okay to protect content, and what type of content can be protected. It would be a gross expansion of the spec, but at least it WOULD MAKE THE CAPS-TYPERS HAPPY.

You are right John, it is a request society.

Though in this situation you request and I deny.
