      Ya, how dare a website gets revenue to pay their writers and server host.

        They could show you where the ads will be placed and display a non-intrusive message saying please whitelist this site, then I would consider it.
        If they aggressively ask me to turn off my adblocker with pops up and such, then I am just going to leave the site or block the popups. Sites push the most cancer ads and are then surprised when people want nothing to do with them.

          Okay, and when you wonder why websites shut down, it’s because people like you.

          Leaving the site is fine. Blocking their pop-up is just stealing their bandwidth.

          You’re the reason many websites have become pay per view, which then I’m sure you bitch about. Nothing in life is free. Either you pay to access, or you view ads.

          It’s actually sad that you’re upset that a website is asking you to disable Adblock so they can continue to fund their website, and provide you with free content.

            Ads are malware (sometimes literally, I think there was a post about exactly that in this very community), everyone should be in control of what they see on their own device.

            Blocking their pop-up is just stealing their bandwidth.

            Lol, I bet you wouldn’t download a car either.

        I am willing to pay if i must, but not with ads. I dont use any particular site enough to justify a subscription, but i would be perfectly willing to pay say 1 millenero (0.001 monero) to read the article.

      Got the same on Vivaldi(mobile), then I opened the URL in Firefox(mobile), and I guess thanks to uBlock origin, I was able to read the whole article.

          Ah yes, DNS adblocking has its uses, but it’s a lot less versatile than an adblocker in your browser. Your point is valid, though. If the website is going to fight your adblocker, maybe just don’t go to that website.
