    This is called the Tyranny of the Default, and is a real thing.

    Advertising online is getting the SHIT knocked out of it https://blog.pagefair.com/2015... and rightfully so for infesting us with malware due to the STUPIDITY & NEGLIGENCE of advertisers!

    * Me? I decided to do something about it that's far more effective than ANY OTHER MEASURE OUT THERE -> http://apple.slashdot.org/comm... that IS NOT CLARITYRay BLOCKABLE like browser addons either & does FAR MORE for FAR LESS in resources consumed vs. threats online of most all kinds also besides adblocking to get users more speed, security, reliability & even anonymity online (vs. tracking).

    APK

    P.S.=> Beat THAT with a stick (while it helps beat the shit out of negligent GREEDY useless advertisers online) - ok? Good Luck - nobody here ever has... or elsewhere either! apk

  4. IAB by phantomfive · · Score: 5, Insightful · on Adblock Plus Blocked From Attending Online Ad Industry's Big Annual Conference (arstechnica.co.uk)

    IAB represents the advertisers, so it's not surprising they're upset at adblock. Ad blocking has just been going up and up.

    AdBlock Plus: Extortion or Smart Business? | John C. Dvorak | http://www.pcmag.com/article2/...
    Adblock Plus demands cash from websites to whitelist ads | http://www.digitaltrends.com/w...

    Is that extortion? the practice of obtaining something, especially money, through force or threats. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    A German court says it isn't. http://blog.pagefair.com/2015/...

    Still stinks, but. People use adblockers to block ads. Not to only see ads where the advertiser greases the palm of some third party promising to block ads.

    Good point! Adblock Plus reached a deal with Google to let their ads through http://www.businessinsider.com... http://techcrunch.com/2013/07/... http://blog.pagefair.com/2015/...
