>‘Acceptable Ads Platform’ will let advertisers reach users of ad blockers, with help from Google and AppNexus

>Eyeo GmbH, the company behind the popular online ad blocking software Adblock Plus, said Tuesday it’s launching an online advertising service to help marketers place “acceptable” ads in front of users with ad blockers turned on.

>Eyeo has partnered with ad tech firm ComboTag to create an automated ad marketplace, often referred to as an ad exchange, the companies said. Publishers can sign up for the marketplace, called the “Acceptable Ads Platform,” and use it to sell and place ad space on their webpages.

>“Acceptable ads” are allowed to pass through Adblock Plus’s filters by default, provided they aren’t too intrusive or disruptive to users. The Acceptable Ads Platform will contain only ads that abide by its Acceptable Ads criteria, which dictate the size, placement and labelling of ads, Eyeo said.

>Google Inc. and ad tech specialist AppNexus will also have a hand in helping to sell ad space from the new platform, by offering it up to potential buyers through their own online ad exchanges.

>not modifying hosts list to block ads

if you have not switched to ublock.. now is the time to do so.

Adblock Plus should rename itself to Ad Plus.

...

>2016
>not adding ad domains to hosts file

Ads need to go the way of the dinosaur.

I'm offended by advertisements. It's all mostly Jewish shilling trying to brainwash me into buying shit that I don't need by putting catchy tunes and imagery into my head that I don't forget fast enough.

Is Ublock Origin good? I'm on Firefox and considering dropping Adblock Plus over this nonsense.

this is a good thing.

What is wrong with an acceptable ads policy? If anything, this will cause advertisers to make less intrusive ads and make the web a better place. Advertising still remains the primary way for websites to sustain themselves financially.

uBlock Origin is shit. It only hides ads instead of actually blocking them.

as long as its not an html 5 video ad or flash ad. and isnt a popup. then its ok right guys?

Fuck off. Why do people think they are entitled to money just because a lot of people use their website? Fucking jews. If their website was so fucking great they wouldn't need ads. People would gladly pay a subscription to access it.

>Ads need to go the way of the dinosaur.

When was the last time you donated to support a website? If you can't remember, then that's why ads still exist on the web.

shit

what do I do?

this is what kim dot cunt was trying to push alongside his media empire

look what happened to him

Their block lists are of lower quality than adblock plus too and it routinely trips up anti-adblock scripts. These things never ever get fixed. I still use it anyway. Really wish they would get their shit together.

>websites are not entitled to ad revenue from visitors to keep themselves afloat, but I'm entitled to visit their website without any problems whatsoever

shut the fuck up ADP shill
use Ublock Origin

>Fucking jews.

Of course Sup Forums would have to snivel their slimy way in.

>block lists lower quality
Its the exact same ones?
>routinely trips up ant-adblock
Enable the anti-anti-adblock you fucking idiot

Where did all the helplessly stupid people on Sup Forums come from, and why are you so vocal with your utter retardation?

agreed!

how do I change my ublock logo to this?

my browser stutters big time and pretty much stops to a crawl with them kind of ads. i say a banner ad is better then an anti adblock message forcing me to turn off adblock to view there sites

ublock is only a temporary solution.
It is only a matter of time until they begin to criminalize filter maintainers like torrent site owners.

>It is only a matter of time until they begin to criminalize filter maintainers like torrent site owners.

Piracy is already a crime.

AND no open in tab ads. i HATE them. especially when they open in place of the original site and move your site to a different tab automatically

and adblockers cost big companies like google literally several billions a year.
They will do whatever it cost to unblock ads.

>If their website was so fucking great they wouldn't need ads. People would gladly pay a subscription to access it.

No one would pay a subscription to gain access YouTube behind a paywall despite having millions of visits per minute.

>2016
>not using uBlock Origins

>56582815
exactly, a banner is even better than getting a pop-up by just click on the page itself and not on any link

>posts "give it back, Tyrone" in "help me unlock this phone" threads, boasting about their apparent """moral superiority"""

>pirates everything without a shred of guilt, mocks people who pay for music, movies and software

I agree with this. I want my favorite youtube channels to get revenue but not from me, from other plebeian people. There are to many people out there that spread knowledge around. I wouldn't even tell my own mother about adblocking software. Someone has to view the adds. You faggots that do otherwise ruing it for the rest of us. Just like Napster, KAT, Supernova, etc.

profit not earned isn't profit lost

>stealing from people is the same as """stealing""" from corporations

Neo Sup Forums, everyone

>I wouldn't even tell my own mother about adblocking software
you're a terrible person
it's one thing to not teach your work buddies but your own fucking mother dude?

You can support YouTube creators without the ads.

youtube.com/red

support.google.com/youtube/answer/6306276?hl=en

it's lost. They pay for a huge infrastructure, servers, upgrade hardware, pay their engineers. They offer a free service. So, they expect a return only from ads.

The ad networks and the websites that use them have collectively fucked themselves over. It's kinda like over fishing. All parties want to maximize their own revenue by putting out most distracting ads possible. But together doing so they exhaust the pool, people start blocking ads, now there is less fish for everyone to share.

>believing polack abp shills

>YouTube Red is available in Australia, Mexico, New Zealand, and the United States
Sorry, I'm white so that is not available in my country.

>"stealing from businesses is morally just"

When did Sup Forums become a socialist haven?

It's treason then...

>give my money directly to google.

I dont even let their scripts run anymore that absolutely necessary. They have become a malevolent company. But thats what happens when you hire communist SJWs exclusively.

there were websites before there were ads

the websites that need ads to survive are free to shut down, nobody will really mind

how is not viewing ads stealing?

You really think a board that is pretty evenly split between FOSS and piracy cares about poor John Galt and his gay ass railroad? Take a hike back to Sup Forums.

I have a foolproof way of making a website display ads without any way to block them short of not visiting the website. How much money do you think I could make from this idea? Millions?

>earned

You keep using that word. If people who use a product without giving money to the entity behind it is determining that a company has not "earned" the revenue and doesn't deserve it simply because the user says so, then how is it different than going to the store, taking something without paying and citing that the company has not "earned" the revenue as the reason you haven't paid for it?

ascii art ads?

Stop spreading lies fucking idiot and at least google your claim before posting it

Will the webpage look like a web 1.0 page?

Do you have any proof that it merely hides ads? Reminder that the source code is freely available.

No.

Shut the fuck up idiot. You don't even know my idea and since it can monetized I won't share it.

No. It won't look different and no functionality will be lost. It doesn't depend on any script and it doesn't generate a pattern that can be included in a filter list.

Do you whitelist any websites you like?

For example, I have Reddit whitelisted (though I'm a gold member so it doesn't really even matter anyway). I just think it's virtuous to give back to websites that have served you well.

If i does not depend on a script, then functionality will be lost. How else will you measure clicks?

That would actually be pretty cool

You measure the GET requests.

no ads are acceptable

indirect goods and services are a cancer that lead to an overall decrease in quality in content that relies on them

an internet with ads is an internet with clickbait

What's the best ad blocker for Safari?
I didn't even realize I've been using ABP

>sick and tired of ad blockers depriving your YouTube video revenue

>embed the ads right into the video itself

Is there a viable alternative to ads? You guys keep saying you hate ads, so what is a solution. Server space isn't free.

>Safari

JS Blocker

Trying to mock someone with an anime picture is much more cringeworthy.

adblockers damage the tech economy, the solution is to offer some unobstrusive text-based ads.

>he doesn't watch anime

A lot of YouTube creators do product placement in their videos now.

Getting a real job and paying for server costs out of pocket

Paywalling or doing the freemium thing since you think your shit is worth money

The tech economy is garbage and needs a major overhaul.

>he wants to be a cute grill and suck cocks
i got adblocking thru router, doesnt affect me :^)

The best kind of ads are the ones that integrate directly into the website. These aren't intrusive at all and are actually quite pleasant. Much better than the animated Flash ads with sound.

Did you even read the book or are you just trying to sound smart?

>he doesn't

Is a man not entitled to the sweat of his brow?

hahah

i want to turn a pretty and anxious faggit into a grill and make him suck my cock instead.

You've seen one anime, you've seen them all. The plotlines are overly cliche, the dialogue is cringy ("I'll take a potato chip... and EAT IT!"), it's just something you're in when you're a pre-teen and then something you grow out of.

It is free though. If you want better quality service you need to pay but honestly I spent more per month on mountain dew before I quit drinking it than I do on my server from scaleway. It's so fucking cheap now and cloudflare offers a free CDN service as well.

There are other ways to make money. Before hulkamania ran wild on them Gawker compiled lists of discounted products from online shops that offer commissions. I actually bought something from one of those posts once. I'm far more likely to buy something shilled that way than some fucking ad that popped up while I was trying to read an article.

i'm a bit anxious and a faggot

You're not stealing from a businbess, you're exposing a gaping hole in their master plan to make money without actually making anything worth paying for.

Ad companies already know people can just change the channel, look away, and block ads. They don't care. The mass exposure means someone will look and care. The advertisers themselves don't really have a problem. Ad blockers and people fast-forwarding through DVR recordings have yet to destroy them financially.

However, the dumbasses trying to make all their money off ads alone because fuck working hard to make something high quality? They care, a lot. Like hobos on the street whining when nobody gives them a dollar after their shitty guitar solo.

There is a difference between clicking on a link and actually visiting the webpage itself.

and I'm a bit turned on and horny now.

>the dialogue is cringy ("I'll take a potato chip... and EAT IT!")

Stop making shit up, you faggot.

>It is free though.

Cheap is not free. I have to pay Amazon for EC2 usage.

>trying to dictate what others should enjoy or not
>thinks he's the grown up one
you're cute

Looks like you can't even speak anymore, I got you all mesmerized. Kiss me faggot :3

While we are on the topic of adblocking, is there a better alternative on Android than Block This? I suppose AdAway but that's just about it.

>then how is it different than going to the store, taking something without paying and citing that the company has not "earned" the revenue as the reason you haven't paid for it?
In the latter case you're removing an actual product and depriving someone of it.

...

There are free hosts out there that don't place any advertisements on your site. They might be more restrictive in what you can use, php, cgi, etc but it's still something good to start with. Domain names don't cost $70 a year anymore either. I also believe that Cloudflare is an amazing turd polisher as far as hosts go. Even if the server or even the client is in an unfavorable location it usually finds a nice path.

Sorry, not into moe culture.

Ublock origin in Firefox for Android

>you've seen one, you've seen them all

human storytelling archetypes are limited so this applies to everything but artsy junk, and even then you can say it's all the same because you have no fucking clue what's going on because of the obfuscation or total lack of non-metaphorical substance

Now way too nervous, I lost interest. Bye

I mean more along the lines of global adblocking, not just while browsing websites.

It's more like going to a free concert and not buying anything.

"If you want to make money, try selling tickets, your T shirts and CDs fucking suck"
"ew, then we'd have to make good music"

$70 a year is fucking pocket change anyways

These days you'd pay $10 per year at most

>It's more like going to a free concert and not buying anything.

They're most likely sponsored by big name companies (pic related, visibly sponsored by AT&T), so it's essentially ad-supported.

What exactly are the differences from Ublock and Ublock Origin? I get that Origin is a fork, but what are the actual differences?
