Online Ad Czar Berates Adblockers As Freedom-Hating 'Mafia' (thestack.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Randall Rothenburg, the president and CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has made a speech branding the creators of Adblock Plus (who were banned from the conference where he made this keynote) as "rich and self-righteous," and accused adblockers of subverting freedom of the press. Speaking at the IAB's annual conference, Rothenburg characterized the Adblock Plus team as "operating a business model predicated on censorship of content."
...then I must a sadistic communist, as I have a suite of self-made chrome addons that will identify Analytics platforms and trigger false events, among blocking specific ads. :-)
Since when is advertising "content"?
The only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for it to be pitted against a slightly greater evil
Censorship is when someone else prevents you from viewing the content that you want to see. Freedom is being able to view only the content that I want to.
... the advertising industries conception of freedom, is free to spy and collect data on everyone and do whatever it wants to our computers for profit. Adblocking was a response to the real mafia - the advertising conglomerates and the conmen that inhabit such 'industries'.
Not a single fuck was given by anyone else.
There are people out there who legit believe this trash
Fuck your "content" if I wanted it on my property I'd go out of my way to get it
Then they laugh at you,
Then they fight you.
Then you win.
You have to listen to me because freedom! No censorship, no ignoring my commercial speech! You must listen and then buy!
In fact, no questioning the claims of my advertising either! Telling me I'm wrong is harming my liberty!
He might have a point or two if use of AB+ weren't voluntary. As it is, how is my choice to block his content censorship? I call it editing a data stream.
It is unwise to ascribe motive
Because I think it would be fitting if everyone were to forward him big packages containing all the unsolicited mail they've received recently. After all, that's "content" too, right, so if you don't want to receive it, you're "subverting freedom of the press" that allows anyone to send advertisements unsolicited to whoever they want and regardless of how annoyed they might get, right?
Rothenburg characterized the Adblock Plus team as "operating a business model predicated on censorship of content."
As a consumer of content, I am allowed to pick the content I consume however I want. That isn't censorship.
I can't seem to get to one of the links, but I didn't see "mafia" in the first link, though click-bait headlines unsupported by actual content seem to be the standard at Slashdot these days.
Much is being made of the fact that these asshats declined to let AdBlock people attend their conference. But really people, do you really think that the MPAA folks would allow the Pirate Bay guys to attend one of their conferences? Really?
The whole "story" such that it is, is Dice / Slashdot click bait.
If you want news from today, you have to come back tomorrow.
As far as I'm concerned the ad companies did this to themselves as soon as the volume of data for advertising became greater than the content I wanted to read. Oh, and malware, lots of malware. And visually irritating ads like the old shock the monkey banners. And the creepy way ads seem to know what I buy online and show me similar products on various pages. Creepy AF. Screw those crybabies. They created the conditions that gave rise to ad blocking, and they need to focus on creating an environment where the ads once again become less intrusive.
(relevant capcha: "sanest")
First and foremost, "Freedom of the press" applies to the government not restricting the press. If a private citizen tells a reporter "Get off my property", it's not restricting freedom of the press. If a web forum says in their terms and conditions that you can't talk about topics X, Y, and Z, it's not restricting freedom of the press.
And if an ad-blocker blocks ads, it's not restricting freedom of the press.
Mr. Hu is not a ninja.
Until they have a firm handle on the advertising industry: removing annoying audio playing or popup ads, virus infested servers, and overly bright and flashy ads; I'm keeping my adblocker for my own protection.
Don't steal content by not watching ads, you internet scumbags!
"Moron says words and things that mean stuff and whatnot."
Or
"Advertisers hate things that prevent people from seeing advertisements."
Consistency is only a virtue if you're not a screw-up.
Randall Rothenburg, the president and CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has made a speech branding the creators of Adblock Plus (who were banned from the conference where he made this keynote) as "rich and self-righteous," and accused adblockers of subverting freedom of the press.

Fuck you and the adware you rode in on!!!
You know freedom of speech is evenly match with freedom to not listen.
No one is obligated to listen to anything you say, or do, or print.
Because we have the cash, you have the "ad", but you can't swap ads for rent or food. You need cash for that. If you can't sell the ad to us, we don't have to give one shit.
Randall Rothenburg, ... accused adblockers of subverting freedom of the press.
(a) The First Amendment only applies in the US, and (b) only applies with regard to the Government. Why don't people understand this?
Rothenburg characterized the Adblock Plus team as "operating a business model predicated on censorship of content."
People have the right to determine what is/isn't downloaded to their own devices, using the bandwidth for which they pay.
There's so much wrong with Randall's "rich and self-righteous" comment that I don't even know where to start.
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
Just make sure you visit the site! iab.com
Don't be silly. There are plenty of people in eastern Europe - places like Poland - who would quite gladly use it as a pejorative, and from time to time they may use more specific terms like "Bolshevik" as well.
The World Wide Web is dying. Soon, we shall have only the Internet.
So according to him, Preventing myself from being tracked, forced to pay bandwidth fees for unwanted data, and pestered makes me freedom hating?
I would call this Rottenburg bozo the freedom hating, rich and self-righteous nimrod.
Bitch, please.
Can someone please modify ad block plus to filter out any noise this guy generates?
It was really odd as I read this I was thinking to myself this sounds awfully a lot like the arguments that spammers gave me when they found out their account was turned off. Of course it's not fair to lump them into the same category as that because they place these ads on the sites and not just cram your own space full of stuff. I think this guy needs to take a step back though and really look at what some people are doing that may or may not be members and see it's a reason for the ad blocking. The over abundance/overkill of advertising on a web site. The advertisements that cause malware infections. The tracking that goes on. I believe Ad blocking would be less used if advertising were more responsible - even just by solving the malware issue alone.
There have been great debates on the differences between government censorship versus censorship by berating or harassing someone until they self-censor, but regardless of how you feel about those things, making a tool that allows a user to alter the content that they view isn't censorship, because everyone still has the ability to view those ads if they choose to do so.
I'll continue blocking ads as long as they are these things:
* A vector for malware
* A huge distraction with animations, bright colors, flashing, jiggling, noise, etc
* Potentially misleading (fake DOWNLOAD buttons, etc)
The internet ad industry has dug this hole itself. They've turned the web into a giant shithole, and people are discovering how much better things are when you block them.
I remember when I watched TV and there was a commercial break, I got a peeing break.
I could also get snacks.
Automating ads and ignoring ads is a big deal.
We are ignoring your ads since they were invented!
let me tell you about The Market (tm), you idiot. you put something out there. if it sells, you do more. if it tanks, you change things up or quit.
high-content bandwidth hog ads, especially delaying real content until those gobble gobble bastards are loaded and running, is not wanted. that's why we have ad blockers.
if you would get your crap together at stop what you're doing, you would be smart in The Market (tm).
if you piss and moan and toss crap off the podium, block your business when you smell an ad blocker, and refuse to do what The Market (tm) is telling you to do, you will fail, collapse, and go away.
and you are, so you are a raving idiot. screw you. I am keeping my blockers up.
if this is supposed to be a new economy, how come they still want my old fashioned money?
They're absolutely correct; the makers of Adblock Plus are engaging in censorship of digital advertising created by some others and allowing through the digital advertising created by some others, which isn't optimal and thus there are different solutions which do not opt for such fickle behavior.
However, the key part here is that it isn't by force, it's by choice of the enduser of the product; in direct juxtaposition of being on the receiving end of forced digital advertising delivery.
In almost all cases, in order for me to view content, I must first opt in, by only my visiting the site in question, to digital advertisements before I am able (if at all) to disable the advertising through payment. Instead of bitching, we just utilize these tools to (UBlock Origin is my preference) to censor our own content.
I mean, I get it; they are fighting hard to reduce that 30% of Europeans and 10% of Americans blocking ads but enough w/the rhetoric, please.
The subject of his keynote perhaps sheds some light on why ABP was uninvited from the event. It's like the IAB is declaring war on its own audience, instead of fixing the problems that caused not just a desire for but a need for ABP and similar products in the first place.
Of course a Jew would spew vitriol against any technology that threatened him from making even more millions.
Adblock is the single greatest thing that's ever happened to my measly 5/1 DSL plan.
Have you ever fallen asleep at the keybhanusdiog?
Speaking of self-entitled assholes, here comes the ad people equating seeing their ads with speech and censorship.
Lying assholes.
See, nobody is limiting your freedom of speech, because nobody is in any way obligated to watch your ads. We're certainly not obligated to let you run scripts, set cookies, or perform analytics on us.
Randal Rothenburg is a self-serving idiot who thinks his desire to sell a product somehow confers an obligation on us to hear about his product.
Which means I'll block the shit out of any and all ads while I have the technology to do so, because you're not paying for my bandwidth, you're not taking responsibility for the malware you serve, and you're not compensating me at all for anything.
Fuck you, and your belief that your business model in any way imposes an obligation on people who don't give a shit about your business model.
Sorry, this is a guy who profits from selling ads with his panties in a bunch about someone who profits by blocking ads, and acting like his fucking rights are being trampled ... you have no fucking "right" to push content to my machine if I've identified you as a parasite. And thankfully, in Germany at least, the courts have agreed.
Lost at C:>. Found at C.
About 100 million dead people would.
Adblock is anti freedom of the press by censoring ad content? Gotta give him some credit for going for those oppression points!
BAM! Would you look at that a box I have to close to look at the website.
Minimum threshold fixed. Thanks!
It is a business model predicated on censorship of content.
That's why I choose to use it. To censor content.
If it was being forced on me, that'd be a problem.
It isn't. Long live censorship!
Rothenburg characterized the Adblock Plus team as "operating a business model predicated on censorship of content."
As a consumer of content, I am allowed to pick the content I consume however I want. That isn't censorship.
Exactly. As an owner of a TV remote, I am allowed to pick the channel I wish to watch. A TV remote isn't any more of a censorship device than an ad blocker is.
Tell ya what, Randall. How about we have someone step-up on stage right in front of you, take the podium, and shout to advertise that there are hot Russian brides waiting in this area for YOU.
Then, during your speech, we allow various individuals to talk over you to tell us the virtues of the X10 camera. You remember that, Randall? The X10?! Maybe we all want to hear more about that then whatever the hell you're talking about.
Then, finally, as you finish your speech, the convention security should invite passers-by to "punch the monkey". Better serpentine, Randall, because I have news for you: You are the monkey.
Where are the users when adblockers and advertisers duke it out? The adblockers only exist because we have a fundamental right to receive at our computers exactly what we ask for exactly where we ask for it from. I don't trust who CNN, slashdot or any company decides to trust to supply them with ads. I don't want content being pushed to my system from any server except the exact one I chose to receive info from. I reserve the right to use any program of my choice to make it so, whether it is "in-browser" adblockers, hostname blocking, blocking at the firewall, whitelists etc. Get over yourself advertisers, not a damn thing changed when we went from newspapers to web. You buy advertising at your own risk that people won't look at it.
Digital is, by definition, imperfect. Analog is the way to go.
Online Ad Czar Berates Adblockers As Freedom-Hating 'Mafia'
Yes, that's me. I'm a jerk, and I'm the mafia, and I block your ads, and I'm the end of Western Civilization as you know it, and worst of all I don't even care.
What are you going to do about it?
Secession is the right of all sentient beings.
That's freedom and I want it. Sounds like someone needs to go back to school to learn the definition of freedom...
He likely thinks the off-switch on one's TV is also 'predicated on censorship of content'.
It's not going to happen.
That was a tyranny. Get your facts straight.
to speak , they do not have any right to be heard.
They are a criminal conspiracy that engage in unauthorised computer access, counterfeiting and click fraud.
Counterfeiting - Ads masquerading as download buttons leading to Click Fraud
They should face RICO charges.
Aren't the people who want free content without viewing ads bigger parasites?
Someone has ignored his sky-fairy bestowed right to make money by filling up our screens with flashy bullshit so he's going to scream, or possibly hold his breath until he turns blue.
Diddums.
Resistance is futile. Reactance buggers it up.
Delicious irony!
It was Tyranny caused by communism, idiot.
Yet these websites choose not to for two reasons. The first is laziness.
No. Until now the percentage of ad blocker users were low. Web sites accepted that, saying that a non-paying user also has some benefit, namely he brings paying users. Today ad-blockers become so popular that the loss affects the bottom line. Moreover an ad-blocking user likely brings only other non-paying user, therefore he is a pure loss. I predict that within a year there will be serious changes and polite requests for ad-blockers to either subscribe or turn off ad-blockers become usual.
Maybe try and actually advertise instead of offending?
IMO, you should probably be shot all the hate you've sold.
... that speech is such an incredible mound of crazy that I don't even know where to begin.
When you get back to your office, look around you at work, and pay attention. For these are your friends and colleagues who are under attack. Their skin is black, and brown, and ochre, as well as white. They speak Mandarin, and Spanish, and Hindu, and Farsi, as well as English. They celebrate Diwali, and Kwanzaa, and Ramadan, as well as Christmas and Chanukkah. And they are under assault.
And when they are under attack, you are under attack. For they are the future of the American economy. They are the future of consumption. They are the future of advertising and media. They are your childrens’ classmates, your in-laws, the parents of your future grandchildren.
OK ... so who, exactly, has these fine folks "under assault"?
It is for this very reason – the virtuous circle that links freedom to advertise to freedom of the press to freedom of expression to economic freedom – that Article 19, the influential NGO, says: “The right to freedom of expression covers any kind of information or ideas, not only contributions to political, cultural or artistic debate but also mundane and commercially motivated expressions.”
And this is why I hate the ad-block profiteers.
Evil is revealed!
Shine, an Israeli startup trying to sell ad-blocking software to mobile phone networks, is backed prominently by Horizons Ventures, the VC arm of Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing, and run by his girlfriend. His other investments include Spotify and Facebook.
The latest ad-blocking company is a Web browser startup called “Brave.” It was launched by former Mozilla CEO Brendan Eich, whose last major investment was in banning gay marriage in California. His business model not only strips advertisements from publishers’ pages – it replaces them with his own for-profit ads.
Notice how quickly we went from cultural inclusiveness to blaming the Chinese and the Israelis (but gay marriage!)
They may attempt to dignify their practices with such politically correct phrases as “reasonable advertising,” “responsible advertising,” and “acceptable ads”; and they can claim as loudly as they want that they seek “constructive rapport” with other stakeholders. But in fact, they are engaged in the techniques of The Big Lie
I guess he knows the Big Lie when he sees it.
Well, in their race to the bottom and frenzy for investment, the ad-block profiteers seem more intent on killing each other than on killing advertising
Oh, God. It's the ad blockers who are in a race to the bottom...
But more importantly, an embrace of LEAN principles will bring this industry back to the rational center – focused on making money, to be sure, but cognizant that successful businesses require long-term attention to and concern for the users themselves. Remember that those users represent all races and creeds, and that their happiness success means your success and happiness, too.
Also, kittens! And babies! And kittens!
I haven't been running an ad blocker for a bit - I think I'm going to now. Ad blockers are a choice, not foisted upon us. Kind of the opposite of ads themselves. Also, as was stated earlier here; since when are ads content? Ads are the stuff we sift through to find content.
Looks like adblockers are working then.
I love my Ad Blocker!!!!!
I believe that we can agree that freedom is good. Right? You're free to riddle your site with shit that makes the user experience miserable, even dangerous. You own the web site, after all. By the same token, I am free to configure my software to behave as I see fit. If I want to configure it to make my visit to your web site suck less, it's my right. After all, I own that software, not you. One would think that an intelligent man like yourself would get that and, moreover, understand the motivation to pursue technologies like ad blockers and do a little soul-searching about how you're doing things. But that's not what's happening. Instead, you're lashing out at people and organizations that are solving the problems you created. Wake TFU, m'kay?
Just like many of the other SJW rants, this is not about freedom to express. It is about a freedom not to listen to someone else when they do. If you agree with them and have the same opinion that is a start, but in order to dominate you must squash all opposing opinions.
While the concept of squashing dissent is not new (check just about every Government in history) is not new, the form we see now is akin to McCarthyism. Slam any opposing opinion by claiming that _their_ opinion is hate speech which needs to be silenced while yours is altruistic holy fumes.
I think another difference is that as we have continually dumb-ed down society (sorry, you educators hate the truth) it has become more and more "normal" to silence opinions that don't fit a narrative. The people owning the narrative also own the media, and also own education. Until we have some form of revolt, it will get progressively worse.
-The wise argue that there are few absolutes, the fool argues that there are no probabilities.
I'd call him a cunt, but that would be rude to cunts
An *advertising* organization. Why is anyone here taking anything in that speech at face value?
i think you're confusing communist with socialist, or in bernie sanders' case, social democracy. if you took a poll of everybody in the world I think communism would be considered bad.
I had expected that this ad blocker software was ineffective and didn't bother with it, but after this high recommendation by someone in the industry I'm going to install it.
I'm an American. I love this country and the freedoms that we used to have.
To make sure I understand this:
* Ads that IAB members send to my browser are expression of free speech, and by blocking them I am violating the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. ... umm, not sure what their speech counts as ... and by blocking them from attending the IAB is ... umm ... not violating something something?
* Real people from AB+ attending a conference are
No, I guess I don't understand after all.
Nope, no sig
Just had a nice exchange with Randall. You can look up his email online.
Feel free to explain how the 1st Amendment applies to the government, not you or your CPU. And remind him that you learned this is junior high school.
umm how is ad-blockign profiting? from donations? because i didn't pay for any of the ad blockers i have ever used.
so here is a man that is complaining that he isn't making enough money from customers he charges and that the ad blocking companies are making way to much profits from donations... let that sink in for a bit, there are companies making a profit from a pay what you will software company while his service industry is losing profits.
Excuse me sir, but maybe you are offering the wrong product or service shouldn't you be more focused on finding new ways to serve your customers (companies looking to advertise) given how the market is changing. after all the head of an advertisers group should understand how markets work should they not? how are you instilling confidence in your industry by complaining about market change instead of trying to adapt to it?
Yet the business model of running up to your door, screaming into your house, then changing the locks on your door is ok? Because that's the physical equivalent of ads online, a crazy person screaming at random people, breaking into their homes and changing the locks, demanding they walk down a different street to get to the store.
when someone you don't want to hear, is speaking.
This is not censorship. This is filtering out the nonsense.
So the IAB believes nobody has the right to say "NO" - everyone must be heard and you cannot close your ears.
RIDICULOUS!
They want to shove their viewpoint (ads) down your throat and you should not have the right to object.
Someone should ask him if he uses a spam filter.
Don't be a giant cunt all your life.
I heard he was SJW, or GG or something....
Fuck you, Randall Rothenburg, the president and CEO of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB). My host file lists your servers as localhost.
iOS ad blocker app, here I come. What a freaking idiot!
If they didn't interrupt,
block my view,
stop my train of thought,
jump my page up and down and around...,
give me viruses,
eat up precious bytes that *I* must pay for with their video and audio...
If they did what they do in newspapers. Stay in little, quiet, static sized blocks, doing nothing but waiting for me to click if I'm interested, there would be no adblockers, nor need for any.
The online advertising industry has brought this on themselves. They have nobody but themselves to blame.
Please do not read this sig. Thank you.
Because if I ever thought I could get away with it, I'd drag Randall Rothenburg (hell, include 98% of his entire industry in that) into a dark alley and kneecap the worthless piece of shit.
And I'd still hold the moral high-ground vs what he does for a living.
Many of my colleagues from former Soviet bloc countries have asked me, at some point, what in the hell Americans mean when they pejoratively call something "communist", because as far as they could tell it had very little to do with actual communism as they experienced it.
"They were pure niggers." – Noam Chomsky
It is my browser and my internet connection, so i decide what resources i load and which i don't.
End of story.
Censorship is someone else telling you what you can/cannot watch. That would, indeed, be "subverting freedom of the press".
Ad-blockers, on the other hand, are us deciding what we will watch, or not watch.
Of course, nobody in the soviet bloc or even china has ever experienced communism. They experienced totalitarianism and China still does. Many would argue that so does Russia. Regardless, we have not seen large scale communism in the world yet.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
I was going to post something witty, or smartassed, but...I can't. I just....way to go Randall. In this situation, given the level at which his statements are hilariously flawed and arrogant, I just have nothing.
Okay; it had very little to do with the nominal communism which they experienced.
"They were pure niggers." – Noam Chomsky
Always whining and never have anything intelligent to say except to make wild ass claims that THEIR rights are being violated and the constitution thrown out.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
Interesting thread. I think I'll try out some ad blocker now. After all, if the industry is bitching, they must have become pretty good already! Cool! (Streisand effect, anybody?)
Of course, nobody in the soviet bloc or even china has ever experienced communism. They experienced totalitarianism
Communism + Reality = Totalitarianism
I have every right to censor what content I do or do not want to see. I have every right to mute annoying TV ads, skip them, or walk away from the screen, and with my personal computer and internet service, if I want to use - what could arguably said security-focused - tools like AdBlocker to help prevent my internet connection (be it landline, or the much more usage-sensitive wireless/mobile options) from being bogged down with awful, intrusive, and annoying ads, and secure myself against the ad-space that is regularly exploited by malware and the like, that's my right.
The advertiser has every right to speak, to put their speech out there for all to hear, and to not have to fear government censorship (within certain limits). They do NOT have any right to force me to hear their speech when I don't want to, especially when it is not just on a public street corner somewhere I can choose not to go, but is being piped into my home. Just as I have the right to choose who I let in my front door, I have the right to choose who and what I let in my internet doors. If the hosting site suffers too much and doesn't like it, they can always consider a subscription service, or building their content in a different way, and then I can choose to get my content someplace that exercise some restraint over their advertisers and keep it reasonable.

Communism can't cause a tyranny to happen, idiot.
...complained about people taking self-defense courses, saying they infringed on his freedom to beat them up.
Not only have we not, we won't. Socialism can be a workable large scale system, Communism and communism cannot. Small-scale communism can work reasonably well, though it requires a charismatic leader and a strong belief system. The Oneida community worked for generations. I have not run across any example of Communism (i.e., Marxism) working. I believe that it is probably unworkable at any scale beyond, perhaps, the individual.
I expect that the next dominant form of government will be either a socialism or some variety of monarchy. Either may also be totalitarian, which is orthogonal to the democratic/monarchist axis. (So is socialism. Socialisms can be either democratic or monarchical.)
Please note: I say monarchy rather than dictatorship because persisting dictatorships inevitably turn into monarchies as the generations pass. Also note that I left out oligarchy. Oligarchy seems to be the persistent substrate on which these other distinctions float.
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
If your product is hated by so many people, you don't cry and ask the government to force people to consume your product, you fucking change your product.
User discretion isn't censorship, it's selective viewing. For instance, I can admonish them to fuck off, get cancer, and die, but can't compel their discretion to actually accept my imperative.
If you deliberately go and make your site display publicly accessible content, then it's hard to play a victim card when people publicly access it, incl. selectively. If you want your site conditional, make it fucking conditional and rope off the paywall.
Yet these websites choose not to for two reasons. The first is laziness.
No. Until now the percentage of ad blocker users were low. Web sites accepted that, saying that a non-paying user also has some benefit, namely he brings paying users. Today ad-blockers become so popular that the loss affects the bottom line. Moreover an ad-blocking user likely brings only other non-paying user, therefore he is a pure loss. I predict that within a year there will be serious changes and polite requests for ad-blockers to either subscribe or turn off ad-blockers become usual.
No. What will happen is people will stop visiting these websites if they can't block the ads. There's always other places to get the news, stories, etc.
The first word says it all.
Fuck you and your interactive advertisements.
Static ads or PISS OFF.
I only allow static and text ads.
The only exception is video and audio ads on video and audio websites.
And won't any time soon. The basic design is flawed.
Earlier today, I got that message from Forbes asking me to turn off my ad blocker. Not going to happen! If there's any "censorship" going on, it's from Forbes, not the adblocker.
Slow down, cowboy! It has been 4 hours since you last posted. You must wait another few hours.
While this may, in fact, be "...a business model predicated on censorship of content," it is an entirely opt-in business model. The fact that it causes such consternation to you and your industry should tell you something about how the general public views your contributions to society.
Yes, I too laughed at this guy's comments. He's a self serving ass hole and sounds like he's uses the same script writer as Donald Trump.
However....
Let's look at this AdBlocker phenomenon, which is obviously having major effects on that industry if the big guys in it are screaming like pigs in an abattoir.
I've written a couple of Apps one of which is free to download but with IAP to unlock the juicy bits.
It's suffered from 1 star reviews telling me how much I suck not making it 100%, a few demanding I make it Ad funded instead.
Why write Apps at all when you can't make a living out of it?
So I just released an update with interstitial full screen ads to see if it generates better income and prevents user frustration.
If the money isn't coming in 2 things happen. 1) find revenue elsewhere OR 2) Pull the content /. a "pay wall" moan about an article?
If AdBlock+ is working that well it could cause long term damage to the quality and quantity of the content you are consuming.
How often do we see here on
AdBlock+ doesn't prevent Ads inside Apps?
So you may end up seeing content moving to Apps as a ring fence to force you to see their ads and give up your analytics.
I've personally not installed any ad blocking on my phone, tablet or computers as I don't find Ads a problem.
Sympathy for the Devil? Perhaps. Someone has to pay. I'm just saying it could be worse.
My right to not be forced to watch an AD I have no interest in
Frankly, I can't remember the last time I bought a product directly after watching an Ad, or even as an indirect result of watching an Ad. I'm not saying I'm unaffected by Ads, I just can't remember a time where I specifically bought a product because it was advertised to me.
How could he not use an adblocker, I would imagine it to be pretty easy then to hack into his computer, I would imagine his computer network to be infested with nasties. give it some time we'll here some interesting things about this Im sure.
Small-scale communism can work reasonably well, though it requires a charismatic leader and a strong belief system.
Similar goes for basically any form of "government" though, even a total anarchy or a full blown dictatorship. It'll last as long as a significant portion of individuals (and/or the correct specific individuals, depending on what form is being used) in the community in question are on board with making whatever flavor of "government" or lack thereof work well.
Yes/No. If you want to follow "Starts with a Bang", you may not have an alternative to Forbes. Still, the argument is usually true.
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
... because I hate your malware infested crap shooting flashy lights on my articles and other items.
You get the flashy flashy noisy crap and the malware out, MAYBE I'll turn off my adblock

Static images? Fine. The bandwidth required is so low that you would probably not really notice if you removed them from the page. As long as they stay in their place and don't try to block the content I'm reading, this is fine most of the time.
Animated images, HTML5/Javascript, Flash, Java, Video ads? It's so much worst because those waste a lot of bandwidth, distract us from reading the page and waste CPU cycles and battery life.
If we want to buy your products and services, we'll notice the ad. If we're interested, we'll click on it. Otherwise, all you're doing is wasting everyone's time and ressources including your own.
There is the problem as it already exists services can ignore ad blocker, not allow ad blocker, or politely ask for you to turn off ad blocker with the option to subscribe for an ad free experience and as an online advertising firm this is a bad situation because it is going to cut into their revenue no matter which. They are left with finding a way to compel people to want to view their adverts such as adding value somehow or find away to get rid of ad blocker.
There's always other places to get the news, stories, etc.
I am afraid you are a bit too optimist. Most of the known web is ad supported. The only major site which is ad free is Wikipedia. But I do pay to Wikipedia every year. If you mean that you go to a subscription based alternative, than you are still too optimistic: in that case you and me are the only two people I know who intend to pay for an ad-free website. This will not be enough :)
I was watching a video of the Bundy crowd tearing down a SCADA camera at an electrical substation (which I suspect was a utility co camera they mistook for an FBI surveillance camera), railing against a federal government "that serves the rich and elite of this Earth."
Now this guy reached into his bag of insults for something to smear the ad blocker developers with and came up with "rich and self-righteous."
No wonder Bernie Sanders is doing so well; he was so far behind marching to his personal different drummer that now he's out in front of everyone else on the track. If it's a three way general election between Trump, Bloomberg and Sanders, Sanders will cream them. All he has to do is stand up on the debate podium, wave his hand in the direction of the other two and say, "I rest my case."
Post may contain irony: discontinue use if experiencing mood swings, nausea or elevated blood pressure.
I guess I'm in cahoots with those darned censors, then. And since I'm the one who is the intended target of the content, I feel I have the freedom to avoid looking at said content. And if that content insists on me looking at it, I have the right to deny that intrusion into my field of vision. The right of the website operator to derive income from imposed content clashes with my right to look at what I want to look at, and only what I want to look at. I don't see any particularly obvious solution to this except ad blocking software. There's very little in the way of ad-sponsored content that I find valuable enough to subject myself to ads for products and services I have no desire to use. If I want something, I will search for it. I do not click through on ads placed on websites I visit - that's one thing ad operators can count on. In that respect, I am not a set of eyeballs they will get any return on. Their wares are dead to me.
Adds aren't comments or content, they are crap.

FREE, not 'souled-out' to advertisers + adds speed, security & reliability. Does FAR more w/ FAR less more efficiently vs. redundant browser addons & local DNS servers @ home.
It not ONLY fixes DNS' many security issues, it stops a LOT of tracking @ webpage + DNS levels via 1 file you NATIVELY have per my subject above!
Firewalls do the rest (on less used IP address trackers vs. host-domain name type).
---
It obtains data vs. threats & for adblocking from 10 reputable security community sites - easily edited by you via my program.
---
SPEEDS YOU UP 2 ways (adblocks + local RAM cached favorite sites @ TOP of hosts for fastest resolution speed vs. remote DNS (aids reliability)) vs. other "so-called security 'solutions'" SLOWING YOU!
---
All that via something you natively have vs. "bolting on browser addons 'MOAR'" that's usermode slower & increases messagepassing, cpu + ram overheads!

If I buy a newspaper, and I hire someone to remove all ads before I read it, is it censorship? No, of course not. I can do what I like with the newspaper, including burning it, using it in a bird's cage, etc...
When I request a web page, and the server sends it to MY computer, MY browser can render it any way I like. I can add an extension to remove all ads so that what's appearing on MY display, using MY computer, is how I like it. I can even write my own browser, and interpret and display the page any way I like, just like I can cut out every article in the newspaper et rearrange it any way I like.
What's the difference? Cutting out paper ads, or cutting out digital ads, when the data is on my computer I can do whatever I like with it (except of course I have to respect copyright, so I can't redistribute it).
Try it! Library of Babel

It's the world's smallest violin, playing a sad little tune for you while Nelson goes "ha ha" on a loop.
I had a web page that came up blank today. I realized I had ghostery turned off. Turned it back on, it works OK.
Ghostery + ABP + Yesscript (this defeats most anti-adblockers) = Up your arse Randall
Americans think Ronald Reagan was a left wing politician. They frequently redefine words to new-speak nonsense.
I do not owe you a single cent for your ads. You do not have the right to force me to see them. You want to talk about what people are owed?
-Malware-free ads
-Responsibility of advertisers if they allow advertising that harms a user's computer or by extension their personal data
-Ads which do not eat up inane amounts of data to be served
-Ads which do not act as a View-Wall for your content
-Ads which are not loud and intrusive into a user's browsing experience
You won't do any of those things, because all you care about is money. So I won't do anything to allow any of your wasteful and possibly dangerous crap on my system. And unless you can buy enough politicians to change that, nothing will be different.
So in closing: Fuck You, and have a nice day. :)

Advertisers need to make their adds useful to the people. Allow people to specify what they want to know about, and have the add company search out deals and stuff that matches. It would be like Google, but automated, working to find products and services you want to buy instead of finding yet another cat picture.

Since where are a bunch of schlocky "hit the monkey" ad-mongers "the press"?
It's my computer. I have a right to use it as I see fit. I have a right to control what comes across my screen.
They do not have the right to infect my machine with malware just to make a buck.
Again, online advertising is a nasty whore with every STD known to man (and probably a few we haven't discovered yet).
Adblockers are condoms.
WRAP THAT RASCAL!
Chas - The one, the only.

Your rights to publish revenue generating advertisements stops the moment that ad attempts to appear on my screen. The screen belongs to me. The hardware that runs it belongs to me. The bandwidth to retrieve your ad belongs to me (by virtue of the fact I am paying for it). What I choose to have appear on my screen is MY choice - not yours. If I choose to replace all advertisements of one-eyed midget Unicorns, that is up to me. If I choose to utilize a tool to prevent the ads from using my bandwidth in the first place, that is up to me. If I choose to blacklist all the IPs that your ads appear on, that is also up to me. You have every right to publish your ad. You do NOT have the right to force me to look at it.

Well, it was what USSR and China refereed to it, as did our politicians. Of course, from a true academician POV, it was never Communist, but totalitarian. As one that was part of the Cold war, I find it interesting to see how we continue to bring it up as Communism, and do not change our tune.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.

2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop C&C server talk
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop C&C server talk
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop C&C server talk
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoned dns
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phishing
10.) Protect vs. bandwidth caps
11.) Get dns blocks
12.) Keep off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing by adblocks & hardcoded fav. sites
14.) Work on anything webbound multiplatform.
15.) Ez data control
16.) Block ads more efficiently in cpu + memory use vs. addons
* ANSWER ="NO" to each on Ghostery doing all or @ all + hosts = on devices natively.

P.S.=> Addons do FAR less than hosts do & FAR less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ the IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN to operate (as 1st resolver queried):
Ghostery (Advertiser owned) - "Fox guards henhouse" -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G...

Addons add complexity/room for breakdown/exploit + from a slower mode of operations (usermode = more messagepassing overheads vs. hosts in kernelmode).

Advertisers need to make their adds useful to the people. Allow people to specify what they want to know about,
This is exactly what all ad companies try to do. And this is also exactly why many people hate them: this goes against privacy. In order to serve ads which are interesting to you they have to know what is interesting to you...
Censorship is when the source is blocked, not when the destination voluntarily decides not to listen.

One fine day I went to visit Forbes.com and they said 'Hey, we give you lots of great articles, so do us a favor and disable Adblocker on our site.'
So I said 'Hey Steve, you're right. You do do me a solid. So let me do you one.'
But the ads were so obnoxious, distracting and in your face I eventually thought 'Fuck this!' and disabled them.

Of course, nobody in the soviet bloc or even china has ever experienced communism. They experienced totalitarianism
Communism + Reality = Totalitarianism
Extremist philosophy + power == totalitarianism.
It doesn't matter if it is a socialist or capitalist philosophy, both when taken to the extreme and given a modicum of power will result in a totalitarian regime.
Calling someone a "hater" only means you can not rationally rebut their argument.
As with possible many of you I hated the quote above. I read the article looking for a good Twitter length summary and found there is more to it then what one might believe. Not to belabor things here is a quote toward the end. "Ad-blocking has been a consumer plebiscite; as former Mozilla executive Darren Herman noted at the IAB Ad Operations Summit a few months back, the software offered consumers a vote â" and they have voted no on chaos, opacity, and slowness". Sounds pretty insightful. I didn't agree with many thing therein but give it a read.
Totalitarian regimes are actually orthogonal to the communist/capitalist spectrum. However, the USSR never claimed to be communist, they claimed to be socialists moving towards a communist government. Similarly, Hitler's Nazi party also claimed to be socialist and was primarily a totalitarian dictatorship. If they had continued then it might have resembled the USSR to no small degree. However, in both cases it is accurate to say that they never experienced communism.
Which is not to say that communism is a workable political system; it doesn't work all that well on the band-of-hippies scale, but let's not confuse terms more than we have to, kay? You'll look like a raving American moron.

It not ONLY fixes DNS' many security issues, it stops a LOT of tracking @ webpage + DNS levels via 1 file you NATIVELY have per my subject above!
Firewalls do the rest (on less used IP address trackers vs. host-domain name type).
---
It obtains data vs. threats & for adblocking from 10 reputable security community sites - easily edited by you via my program.

SPEEDS YOU UP 2 ways (adblocks + local RAM cached favorite sites @ TOP of hosts for fastest resolution speed vs. remote DNS (aids reliability)) vs. other "so-called security 'solutions'" SLOWING YOU!
---

http://www.iab.com/our-story/#board-of-directors
randall@iab.com
if i had known there was a conference for internet "advertisers" (spammers and malware hosts) coming up i would have had enough time to prepare the chains, locks,and cans of gas to seal up the building and burn the fucker to the ground with all theses assholes inside.
i would have gotten a medal for saving the internet if i had been able to do that.
See subject: Custom hosts get you more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity online using what you already natively have:
APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-4 32/64-bit:
http://www.start64.com/index.p...
* It's superior to antivirus tech (which even Symantec/Norton ADMITS isn't effective anymore vs. modern threat vectors) as it's NOT AS REACTIVE & far more PROACTIVE since antivirus waits till you're "sick" for detection largely, but hosts?
HOSTS BLOCK SOURCES OF MALWARE & BOTNETS BEFORE YOU CAN TOUCH THEM!
(... & you can't be hurt by what can't get to you in the 1st place!)
* :)
Hosts also knock the chocolate outta browser addons by FAR in terms of their abilities - even with UBlock Origin lately using hosts data (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it falls short - it's not a resolver, hosts is, & so it blocks DNS redirect poisoning of which 99.999% of ISP DNS are NOT patched against, & makes your connection faster + more reliable resolving locally from RAM vs. them, not just blocking ads for speed & hosts work 1st (1st resolver used + far more - read the link, be enlightened!)
Enjoy - it's free, it works, & best thing there is on MANY fronts doing more w/ less (good engineering) using what you already have natively!
Hosts != clarityray detectable & blockable like browser addons - it's not a browser addon w/ their weaknesses in less abilities & yet using more operating in a SLOWER mode of operations (usermode) vs. hosts (kernelmode).
APK
P.S.=> Mark my words folks - something OLD's the "way of the future" & that something = custom hosts & on the very grounds I note above + their superiority to inferior, redundant, bloated wasteful slower usermode browser addons (vs. hosts in far more cpu serviced kernelmode as part of the IP stack itself, less moving parts than a firewall using layered filtering drivers & MORE EFFECTIVE since hosts combat what malware uses - host/domain names MOST, not IP addresses)... apk
Freedom of the Press gives you the freedom to print your news/ideas (and ads) without government censorship.
What it does not give you permission to do, is to punish those who choose to "cut ads out of their newspaper", "fast forward ads on recorded TV" or "reduce attack vectors on their connected devices".
Adblockers would not be a problem if the Ad Industry hadn't spent 20 years ignoring the security and privacy problems inherent with the systems they utilize to match ads to eyeballs. They brought this upon themselves.

It not ONLY fixes DNS' many security issues, it stops a LOT of tracking @ webpage + DNS levels via 1 file you NATIVELY have per my subject above!
Firewalls do the rest (on less used IP address trackers vs. host-domain name type).

It obtains data vs. threats & for adblocking from 10 reputable security community sites - easily edited by you via my program.

SPEEDS YOU UP 2 ways (adblocks + local RAM cached favorite sites @ TOP of hosts for fastest resolution speed vs. remote DNS (aids reliability)) vs. other "so-called security 'solutions'" SLOWING YOU!

Of course, nobody in the soviet bloc or even china has ever experienced communism. They experienced totalitarianism
Communism + Reality = Totalitarianism
Oh, so all those hippy communes were in actual fact totalitarian mini-states?
See subject - Custom hosts get you more speed, security, reliability, & anonymity online using what you already natively have:
APK Hosts File Engine 9.0++ SR-4 32/64-bit:
http://www.start64.com/index.p...
* It's superior to antivirus tech (which even Symantec/Norton ADMITS isn't effective anymore vs. modern threat vectors) as it's NOT AS REACTIVE & far more PROACTIVE since antivirus waits till you're "sick" for detection largely, but hosts?
HOSTS BLOCK SOURCES OF MALWARE & BOTNETS BEFORE YOU CAN TOUCH THEM!
(... & you can't be hurt by what can't get to you in the 1st place!)
* :)
Hosts also knock the chocolate outta browser addons by FAR in terms of their abilities - even with UBlock Origin lately using hosts data (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but it falls short - it's not a resolver, hosts is, & so it blocks DNS redirect poisoning of which 99.999% of ISP DNS are NOT patched against, & makes your connection faster + more reliable resolving locally from RAM vs. them, not just blocking ads for speed & hosts work 1st (1st resolver used + far more - read the link, be enlightened!)
Enjoy - it's free, it works, & best thing there is on MANY fronts doing more w/ less (good engineering) using what you already have natively!
Hosts != clarityray detectable & blockable like browser addons - it's not a browser addon w/ their weaknesses in less abilities & yet using more operating in a SLOWER mode of operations (usermode) vs. hosts (kernelmode).
APK
P.S.=> Mark my words folks - something OLD's the "way of the future" & that something = custom hosts & on the very grounds I note above + their superiority to inferior, redundant, bloated wasteful slower usermode browser addons (vs. hosts in far more cpu serviced kernelmode as part of the IP stack itself, less moving parts than a firewall using layered filtering drivers & MORE EFFECTIVE since hosts combat what malware uses - host/domain names MOST, not IP addresses)... apk

FREE, not 'souled-out' to advertisers + adds speed, security & reliability. Does FAR more w/ FAR less more efficiently vs. redundant browser addons & local DNS servers @ home.
Hosts fix DNS' many security issues, it stops a LOT of tracking @ webpage + DNS levels via 1 file you NATIVELY have per my subject above!
Firewalls do rest (on far less used IP address trackers vs. host-domain name type).
---
It obtains data vs. threats & for adblocking from 10 reputable security community sites - easily edited by you via my program.
---
SPEEDS YOU UP 2 ways (adblocks + local RAM cached favorite sites @ TOP of hosts for fastest resolution speed vs. remote DNS (aids reliability)) vs. other "so-called security 'solutions'" SLOWING YOU!
---
All via something you natively have vs. "bolting on browser addons 'MOAR'" that's usermode slower & increases messagepassing, cpu + ram overheads!

Why sockpuppet downmod apk's post showing you eat your words and this post repeatedly too then http://slashdot.org/comments.p... ? We know it's you doing it as your post history shows you accuse apk of using sock puppet when everyone knows he posts anonymous always and in accusing him of it you clearly projected you do use sockpuppets! All so you can downmod any opponent you have that you can't validly prove wrong by using your sockpuppets to farm karma in order to do so to hide them when they make you eat your words like apk did bigmouth. Shouldn't have shot your mouth off. Apk rammed them back down your throat. You're not fooling anybody and you must favor the color transparent. We can see right through you.
Totalitarian regimes are actually orthogonal to the communist/capitalist spectrum.
Except that there are plenty of examples of non-totalitarian capitalist countries, and zero examples of non-totalitarian communist countries.
Can adblock+ do 16 things hosts do 4 speed, security & reliability:
1.) Protect vs. bad sites (past ads)
2.) Protect vs. fastflux botnets + stop C&C talk
3.) Protect vs. dynamic dns botnets + stop C&C talk
4.) Protect vs. DGA botnets + stop C&C talk
5.) Protect vs. downed DNS (4 reliability)
6.) Protect vs. DNS redirect poisoning
7.) Protect vs. trackers
8.) Protect vs. spam
9.) Protect vs. phish
10.) Protect vs. caps
11.) Get past dns blocks
12.) Keep off dns request logs
13.) Speed up surfing (adblock & hardcoded favs)
14.) Works on anything webbound multiplatform.
15.) EZ data control
16.) Block ads better vs. addons more efficiently
* ANSWER ="NO" on ab+ doing it as well or @ ALL + hosts = on devices natively.
APK
P.S.=> Ab+ does less vs. hosts less efficiently - hosts do MORE w/ less + Hosts start w/ IP stack before REDUNDANT inefficient addons BEGIN operation (as 1st resolver).

Ab+'s a 128-151mb memory hog http://cdn.ghacks.net/wp-conte... (hosts use 3-11mb w/ my program initially). Even FireFox 41 adblock eats 65++mb http://www.ghacks.net/2015/06/...

ClarityRay defeats it seeing addons via native browser methods!
---
Ab+'s bribed not to work by default http://www.businessinsider.com... & ABP bought out adblock http://www.theregister.co.uk/2...

Ab+ adds complexity in slower usermode (w/ more messagepassing overhead + context switch vs. hosts in kernelmode).

Ever heard of Pinochet ? Extremes only work when enforced by a totalitarian government. Hell some totalitarians have enforced entirely opposite extremes at different times. Franco of Spain was a good example. In the 1930s he enforced fascism (a la Mussolini - a form of corporatism), after fascism fell in world war 2 he retained power by enforcing socialism instead. In the 1970s under pressure from Nixon he abandoned that and enforced capitalism instead until his death when his chosen successor (the last crown prince) shocked him by ending the dictatorship and instituting democracy. A brutal dictator. Three entirely distinct economic systems.

Andalusia. Unless an anarchist country somehow meets your definition of "totalitarian". Dont confuse your ignorance of something for its absence.
Hell parts of the USA was once anarchist socialist states: most notably quaker pennsylvania.
If you go by the common (but wrong) definition of socialism Americans know then all of Western Europe, Canada, Japan, Brazil, Australia and New Zeeland are all examples (from a very long list) of socialist countries that are absolutely not totalitarian.

You're an off topic troll! So what's worse here. Apk offering a superior product for free that does more than any other does from a single file for considerably less resources used and less complexity or bloating inferior ones championed by Slashdot morons like yourself that can't prove apk wrong?
Add blockers are great now. However, they aren't long for this world. I'd share my opinion here but I've already blogged about this:
Shameless plug for my blog: http://www.rhyous.com/2016/01/...
OK. What's HIS net worth? Is he broke?
Pretty much, since scaling laws are quite important, but pure communism scales better than pure anarchy. I believe that the Oneida lasted as a pure communism until there were more than 200 people (or was that families?) involved. Then it segued into a socialism. It's still going, but I don't know what it's current social structure is.
But if your community is small enough, a charismatic leader and a strong belief system can make pretty much anything work. Most things can be made to work with a group size below 20.
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
No it isn't. Humans a flawed which is why it doesn't work.
It wasn't until news media sites starting loading 100's of ads all simultaneously that i had to get an ad blocker. They should have at least waited until the ads are in the scrollable pane of the page to load them. If they had done this, the ads would've loaded faster, the ui would have been smoother, and i would never have needed a blocker.
After all, we're just sending packets to an IP address.
OK, let me be more explicit.
Certain sources of new/content may only be available on one web site, or one small class of web sites. You can't always find a version that doesn't require JavaScript or worse.
I think we've pushed this "anyone can grow up to be president" thing too far.
But I just did, it didn't block the advertisment!

To me it looks like a list of useful info and facts you trolls in yourself and Ash-Fox can't technically get the better of actually.
You don't practice what you preach. You speak freedom of speech citing article19 and tell apk not to post on hosts? Quit playing dumb or are you really that stupid AmicusNYCL? Must be.
In a similar way to how Capitalism + Reality = Totalitarianism, although perhaps with a bit more delay, but with the advantage of, it seems, more public support??
I can only assume then that the Capitalist Totalitarians are a bit starter (playing for the longer game) than the Communist ones..
And I am not sure that is a good thing.
I can only imagine that you have an interesting meaning for 'Socialist' as well as an interesting meaning for 'Not Totalitarian', from your list of countries.
Oh, and not to mention, I am less than certain that 'Western Europe' has yet to form a single country, and try as I may 'New Zeeland' isnt on any of my
maps, but good try, I guess.
I suspect quite a few of the people in those countries (Australia especially springs to mind) would disagree with your views..
>I can only imagine that you have an interesting meaning for 'Socialist'
I always use the meaning in the dictionary - an economic system predicated on the principle that the workers own the means of production. Nothing to do with the state at all. Taxi-cabs are socialist. Worker-owned coops of all kinds are socialist. If anything, I always thought that using "state" as a substitute for "the workers" was a very bad idea - it doesn't actually achieve the goal, you still end up with bosses owning the means of production but now the very organ that is supposed to regulate industry and curb it's excesses ends up *being* industry - which leads to even worse abuses than under capitalism - there's nobody to enforce the checks and balances. But for this reason in that post I qualified my usage to "the meaning Americans know" which is roughly equivalent to "market regulation and lots of civil services". The kind of system Sanders subscribes to - which *is* in fact the same system you will find in all the places I mentioned. And only a complete moron would think I listed "western Europe" as a country as opposed to what I did list it as: a large collection of countries which has this thing in common.

Your quote above also says it's ok for me to post & you don't own /. either!
YOU FAIL - it's what you do self-defeating @ EVERY TURN vs. me (thanks: you make ME look GOOD).
Mr. Burn of Malwarebytes hpHosts isn't helping you, neither is /. mgt., + YOUR WORDS QUOTED above OR YOUR 10++:1 RATIO FAIL HERE DOING THE SAME "EATING YOUR WORDS" vs. ME http://slashdot.org/comments.p..., lol!
It's OBVIOUS you represent these parties or are one:
1.) Advertiser
2.) Webmaster
3.) Inferior competitor
4.) Malware maker

P.S.=> Your favorite color = "transparent" - I see RIGHT thru you easily! Everyone does.
Fact - Nobody sane or not those adversely affected would bitch about hosts giving them more speed, security, reliability, or anonymity FOR LESS but DOING MORE (good engineering using what you already natively have vs. bolting on inefficient, redundant, useless "mOaR" illogically that's crippled too).
Since you work for those whose business IS THE PROVINCE OF LIES &/or half-truths in advertisers quite obviously by now?

Fact: Many people here like my work & said it above (and elsewhere, ask Mr. Burn how he had to move to AMAZON servers after I released my ware & pr'd it here OR how many different people use it everyday - he can search by useragent & ip addresses for it in his logs easily & has for me before - TONS do).
Many DO like my program, and you said nobody wants to see anything about it.. eat your words chump.
Get a brain - you have the intellect of a carrot. You can't outthink/outsmart me, but YOU CERTAINLY DO OUTSMART YOURSELF, hypocrite!
Above all else what's pathetic is seeing LIMITED IMBECILES that can't create better tools than I do in fools like yourself attempting to first technically attack me & failing on every level imaginable INCLUDING ADBLOCK'S AUTHORS who ran from me, lol... & then attempting to call me spammer, blackmail or threaten me with slashdot or malwarebytes hpHosts & FAILING... lol, nobody is helping you.
FACT!
APK
P.S.=> Adblock shill, and you CLEARLY are? After all my replies above and you say it's OK FOR ME TO POST on hosts?? I will continue to be true to myself and do so!
Especially after you trapped yourself and PLAYED yourself in the links above!
Again - you are ridiculously easy to outthink, outsmart, and just plain OUT - thanks for being so stupid, seriously... Cardinal Richelieu'd your ass easily here as always!
I must lastly thank you - why? You make me look GOOD, every single time (twas your past that disarmed you mondego, and others even saw it in your post history along with championing the INFERIOR redundant wasteful crippled adblock vs. the SUPERIOR WARRIOR in hosts & myself)... apk
First - YOU WISH YOU HAD SOMETHING TO "SPAM" & you don't own /., quit acting like you do, + others LIKE my 'spam' as you call it (that you wish you had something to 'spam' but you're just a "ne'er-do-well" do nothing, lol).
Second - I don't use proxies, they're too damn slow anyhow & I'm into speed & performance (or doesn't hosts give you that too?) BUT YOU PROJECT YOU ACTUALLY USE PROXIES (for downmodding my posts, right? RIGHT!) - go on, ask Mr. Burn & see what he says as to the results of how many folks use my ware the past year or so from his logs.
Third - "EVERYONE IS ME", right? Every SINGLE ac poster on /. has to be me (according to you AmicusNYCL). That's about the best you can come up with since REAL others in /. registere users are QUOTED liking MY work (the likes of which YOU will never be able to manage).
Fourth - IF you're not attacking me, then why are you bothering me @ all? You don't have a leg to stand on. Again, you don't own /., nobody gives a damn what you want either, so just go away... do something with your time vs. bugging me - or aren't you capable of it? Obviously not.
Fifth - THE WAY YOU SHILL FOR ADBLOCK & TRY CUT ME DOWN MAKES IT FAIRLY OBVIOUS YOU'RE SOME PAID OFF SHILL FOR THEM or ARE ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES.

I like to read the news on my iPad Mini and I don't use an Ad Blocker. The iPad Mini isn't the most powerful computer around and it gets pretty slow with one or two news pages in the background with all of the crap on web pages these days. If something takes too long to load, then I dump it to read it on a PC later on. If a page is cluttered with ads, I use reader mode. If there's an ad following me around because I shopped for something - then I don't buy the item. Dump the analytics, noisy ads, etc. Google's text ads are fine and they're often relevant. Video is unnecessary - I'm not really a video-person. If things are really bad, I cut and paste the text into an Emacs session and create a Kindle document to read later. Reading on the PC is easier because of AdBlock Plus or similar, and the PC has the resources to block all of the bad stuff or load the bad stuff and still perform. We shouldn't need high-end PCs, phones or tablets to read web pages though. More Ad crap is not better Ad crap. I think that ads could be done a lot better with some kind of global opt-in but I don't see it happening.
What doesn't work is crippled default settings in almostalladsblocked and ghostery being bought out by advertisers to not do their job correctly and to deceive users who mostly won't change those default bs settings and advertisers know it. You live in fear of apk and so do your employers in advertisers and inferior competitiors and you know your time is short.
You project you work for his inferior sold out to advertisers competitors or you're defending your bad choices in them. Either way you project fear of apk and you know your time's short as advertisers are projecting in this article's premise. You know you can't win against hosts that do a lot more for a lot less and aren't sold out to not work properly like most easily blocked by clarityray browser addons like adblock or ghostery and even ublock that uses hosts proving apk's point but it doesn't take care of more speed in hardcodes and avoiding dns yet resolving addresses faster than remote dns can and hosts avoid dns security issues like redirect poisonings or going down which it does quite a lot. Hosts lighten those dns server loads so they have less chance of going down so admins of dns would like that too and you know it or you do now. Antivirus and antispyware are also inferior. They only are effective once you're infected. That's dumb. Hosts deflect away that possibility since you can't be infected by what you can't touch and unlike antivirus resident, hosts speed you up 2 ways in hosts hardcodes for speed and reliability with protection and of course, adblocking, blocking ALL ads, not just some due to bribery of browser addons that are easily blocked by clarityray.

(& he's ONE HELL of a malware analyzer + bad site finder, w/ only 1 'peer' I know of in Henry Hertz Hobbit/Mr. Alexander whom I also work alongside who also hosts & recommends my program too like Mr. Burn)
Mirrors of his site where you complained (& yes, I know it's you) I 'spam'... bullshit!
You "oddly" (not) neglected to note I ONLY POST ON TOPIC, & IF OTHERS USE INFERIOR BROWSER ADDON SOLUTIONS which I show them the superiority of hosts doing more for less gaining them MORE speed, security, reliability, & anonymity (& not being clarityray detectable + blockable like all addons are mind you) FOR MASSIVELY LESS resources consumed on all levels!
Face facts:
I don't see "the trolling b.s.'ing likes of YOU" adblock shill, doing better yourself!
Man - LOL, I even saw BOTH AdBlock's author & AB+'s author RUN FROM MY POINTS ON HOSTS by email 2x from 2 diff. accounts I sent them challenge in (after the said "hosts = shit" well, they wouldn't back it vs. me & RAN, lol)!
Even deleting my points in favor of hosts over the sold-out redundant inferior crippled resource hogging inefficient addons they make!
Right on THEIR FORUMS, like the bullshitting LOSERS they are (tell them that, I'd LOVE to rip them in 1/2 right here publicly in fact since I know DAMN WELL I can easily... they already proved that via their evasion antics) - since they KNOW I'm right as rain & you do too, Mr. ADBLOCK SHILL... apk

SLASHDOT THEMSELVES DIDN'T HELP YOU WHEN YOU TRIED "BLACKMAILING ME" RATTING TO THEM, DID THEY? NOPE! NEITHER DID MalwareBytes' HpHosts site admin... lol!
HOWEVER: You won't DO that will you adblock shill?
Nope.
You have to attack me on 'spamming' but YOU FAIL TO MENTION I AM ALWAYS ON THE TOPIC AT HAND (99% of time unless attacked first) & THAT I REPLY TO USERS OF INFERIOR SLOWER BLOATED RESOURCE ABUSING REDUNDANT SOLD OUT NOT FULLY WORKING Addons!
I show a better more efficient versatile way in hosts that does FAR more w/ FAR LESS resources used in CPU + RAM!
Additionally - You can't on TOUCH me on tech grounds or I'd annihilate you as I can adblock's own authors.
Lastly - OUT OF THE OFFICE MY ASS (which is where you post from in the day, & other registered 'LUSER' name by night or weekends - doesn't fool anyone, I've seen it before w/ you weasels): YOU ARE DONE FOR YOUR ADBLOCK PAID SHILL DAY is more like it - you have failed again!
WHY is it that my 'detractors' ALL ONLY POST 9/10 times on M-F? That's the answer just above...

P.S.=> You like adblock (hell, no doubt in my MIND you're a paid shill for them since you always vouch for their inefficient, redundant, sold out crippled crapware that's slower than hosts & does less + uses more illogically)?

That's because it's no advertisement. It's an on topic statement of facts (unlike your posts, troll) on hosts files and a program for them that shuts down ads and malware of most all kinds. The program and hosts files are intelligent enough to recognize that. You're not.

"No complaints from me, I like APK's spam. Reminds me to use a host file. Also, his stuff is free." - by aaaaaaargh! (1150173) on Tuesday November 17, 2015 @09:31AM (#50947415)
"APK is kinda right... I've given up on JS based adblocking and gone to blackholing in /etc/hosts, just like it was back in the 90s. The computational load has gotten intolerable for any ad-blocking using JS. I've tried his hosts file generating software. It works." - by bmo (77928) on Thursday October 15, 2015 @11:30AM (#50736071)
"Actually, APK is totally right on this count. Adblock Plus on Firefox mobile is a dog on older, or lower end, phones. A hostfile based adblocker makes for a much better experience in this context. Of course, your phone has to be rooted, which isn't the case with Firefox + adblock." - by chihowa (366380) on Saturday May 16, 2015 @11:40AM (#49705641)

Apk's program does far more does than almostalladsblocked or other inefficient inferior sold out to advertisers addons for less giving users more speed, security, reliability, and anonymity online. You've made a better one than apk's? Let's see it Ash-Fox!
Apk's post != advertisement. It's on topic facts you can't prove wrong. Apk's program does more does thainefficient inferior sold out to advertisers to not work right addons for less giving users more speed, security, reliability, and anonymity online. You've made a better one than apk's? Let's see it Ash-Fox! Of course we know that a no talent do nothing trolling jealous loser like you has zero. It's the sum of your life.
Actually...
advertisement

informal
a person or thing regarded as a means of recommending something.
Change is certain; progress is not obligatory.
Are you on topic? No. Can you validly prove apk's points that are on topic wrong? No. Are you trolling? Yes. You're the definition of off topic troll. He's can post what he wants above all else and you can't stop him.
I just pointed one out, repeatedly.
Change is certain; progress is not obligatory.
No you haven't. Apk's on topic. Your not and trolling too. You can't prove his list of points wrong on hosts You've too much time on your hands. Idle hands are devil's workshop.
Cool story, APK.

Nope. Marx saw Socialism as the most likely outcome after the (to him) inevitable collapse of capitalism, Communism he saw as a progression afterwards. It's not a question of intensity or severity, but an evolutionary change involving a lack of governance in the aftermath of a collapsed system requiring each to do to their best, and a recovery of some form of governance later. There's substantial differences in both if you look at them properly and not try to force them into the same mold.
I find it interesting how often in survival games how often people fall straight into functional socialism to survive as a group, lending a bit of credence to Marx's theory.
I find it amusing he can't find New Zealand on a map since I've never seen a globe lacking it, and even most of the atlases I've seen have it (excluding those using maps over about 300 years old). The only map I can think of that usually doesn't include it is Risk's (some variant maps do as a pacific attack route on Oceania).
I wouldn't consider Australia socialist, but hell I'm actually aware of Marx's writings not just the popular opinions of what are Socialist and Communist (Marx saw Russia as a prime candidate for skipping the socialist phase in his political evolution not having come under threat by capitalism at that point). With regards to what America thinks is Socialist/Communist (idiots that can't distinguish differences) I'd agree most of the first world is some flavour of their hated political systems.
