I don't know I think sites like this screwed the pooch long ago when they abused ads and caused people to use ad block. Do you think my 75 year old grandma cares about ads? No, she doesn't, but I put ad block on her computer so I won't have to wipe her computer every month because of the malware and unsubscribe her from scams that she found by clicking on an ad that she thought was legit.

I think it's going to take some major practice changes before people will turn off ad block again, even for sites they like.

I tried to disable adblock for slashdot. One of the ads scripts would runaway and crash my browser every 10 minutes or so.

Like, really?
