Plus with what’s in the news with Google News restricting access it seems the fair way. The age of ‘free’ on the internet is ending: get used to it.

When you go into the store, for example, you make a choice between products on the shelf, and I defy you to say you always choose products you’ve never heard of. You buy products you think you know, even if you haven’t tried them, because their advertising has made you feel you have a relationship with them. This might sound like a stretch, but it’s exactly what happens.

If there are two brands of milk, one called ’skdxkcg’ and the other called ‘qwerty’, you’re at some point going to choose qwerty because you have a feeling that you ‘know’ the brand. That’s because the advertising has, possibly over the course of a while, been making the product known to you, if only just the name.

The same applies on the web. If you see an ad for a widget a hundred times, you might never click on it. But if one day you were looking for a widget but couldn’t find one and the ad presented itself, you might well click on it.

Or you make a mental note that here’s a provider of widgets. You might not buy immediately, but what they’re counting on is that when you’re faced with the choice of ‘Widget’s widgets’ and ‘XYZ widgets’ you’ll choose the one you’ve heard of.

As for reviews, lot of adverts will contain some form of 2nd opinion, review or recommendation that says ‘it’s not just us saying this is good’. But can you trust these either? Many of the ‘recommendations’ out there are solicited by the ad companies to people who have an interest in pleasing the advertisers. (Many ‘review’ sites are even run by the owners of the products or their affiliates)

As for your comments on malware, I think you may be right, but I don’t think a site will block you only because they want to infect you. There may be other reasons, such as there being absolutely no point in you being there if there’s no opportunity to sell you anything. Harsh, but true. It wouldn’t even be worth the chance of you recommending them to someone, because since you don’t see their ads, you’re already highly unlikely to do so anyway.

Honestly, if advertising didn’t work, do you really think they’d spend all that money on it?

Just like you will walk away from a site telling you to remove adblock, I would consider it to be of equal nature if you are blocking the ads that they are putting up.

If you don’t like the ads, walk away from the content. it is rather simple. As a consumer you have that choice. Playing it both ways is pretending to take the high ground while all you are doing is leeching – the work on the site may be mediocre or poor, but if you really think that, you had that chance to walk away.

As for “my free site” – its just a place holder and I do not expect to make any money off it ever. I do not care if people use adblockers, at the same time I personally refuse to use one as I consider it unfair to the content creators.

I am not encouraging sites to block people with adblock, but I am encouraging those that use adblock to consider what the consequences of their actions really are.

“Free stuff means really free stuff without any bounds. If you dont believe in providing free content online dont expect people to visit your “FREE” website, you’re not worth it.”

^^ If that was really the case, you would simply avoid the sites in question instead of needing to use adblock to get to the content without seeing any adverts. There is no high ground.
