    Does ad blocker work on porn sites?

    Never notice ads, although the ones on TV are on a lot longer than what used to be the standard 3 mins.. I

    I like the way ads inform me of products and/or services I might want to buy and/or pay for.

    I don't even notice them anymore. The Flash banners can be a pain in the arse though.

    *****You are the 1 millionth visitor click here to see your prise***** I got nothing but this junk before on a lot of web pages and honestly who wants to see this junk flashing all over the page. Use an add-blocker and your web browsing will be faster as well by blocking them all out.

    Inspired by the thread earlier on. Don't see em myself but if I was using a different computer it would soon bother me and I'd have to install the famous adblock.

    Before anyone accuses me of putting people out of a job the odd time I do use another computer I'd click on a few before I'd install adblock - does more good for the site than spending the whole year looking at them and not clicking. Also have the supposedly 'non-intrusive' ones disabled, Google can go fuck themselves as they are probably worse than the rest with all their datamining although the ads themselves might not be the worst.

    No, it doesn't since the Internet has gone mainstream Pay per click is no longer really used.

    How recent is this? used to have adwords on my site back in the day ( a few years ago) and got paid per click.

    I can't remember to be honest but I did come across a few. I do remember that OkCupid popped up messages such as "There used to be an ad here" and lecturing on why ads shouldn't be blocked.

    Just signed up in the hope of finding that message.

    Yep. Thats the only reason

    Honest to God, boi

    makeuseof had it for awhile aswell, not there now though. Few other unmentionables (on here) had it that I seen.

    Danny said that Boards may implement a system where the site only has basic function for anyone using adblocker in the future.

    This is totally misinformed. Online advertising is even more geared towards pay per click now than ever before.

    Internet has been mainstream for years now.
