@SarcasmKid Definitely not as bad as completely hiding the page though

@SarcasmKid curl the website

@SarcasmKid "please turn off adblock"

//uses adblock to hide popup element

@SarcasmKid
i've noticed i can Pocket it immediately, before the disable adblock message pops up.

@SarcasmKid First I try right-clicking the "turn off your ad blocker" message and add it to the block list. Because it's funny.

Then I repeat until I can see the "content". But why stop there?

Keep blocking until there's nothing left but a pristine white limitless void. No ads, no nags, no javascript, no thoughts.

Satori.

Then I leave it that way so if I accidentally click on another link to that site, I'm instantly enlightened.

It really changed my appreciation for Forbes.

@SarcasmKid

I write them an email.

"I whitelist sites where all 3 are true:

* 1st party hosted
* non-active content
* static
"

#adblock #privacy

@SarcasmKid every single time.

@SarcasmKid I agree. I would rather leave adblock intact than to read whatever content they had.

@SarcasmKid If it's a polite request that can be ignored, I'll continue visiting. If the site has genuine value, I might even donate.

I never turn off adblock unless I'm whitelisting a non-ad popup I need for work :P

@SarcasmKid I got that message when I didn't use adblock.
