| Ad-driven model is passive If you design and run a website, based on income from ad revenue, then you should expect to go the way of the magazine model: I don't have to read or look at the advertisements.
If I like your site, and the ads are not obnoxious, then I won't block.
Having choice is important. I use both host lists and AB+.
(I visit a site that uses nice, clean text-based ads. The site is responsible for its advertisers. That is something you DON'T get with magazines and other sites...farewell Banner ads. Farewell yahoo obnoxious mortage banners...) | |

Most adblockers don't block on a site basis, rather they do it on an advertisers site basis. That same advertiser could be on millions of other sites.
Enjoy blocking ads everyone, because basically you are going to find that the small publisher will just not bother any more. What is the point of publishing all of your works online, which is very time consuming and costly, to only have people completely destroy the one avenue to at the least, recoup their costs?
I place ads on my sites, I do not consider them obnoxious, and for all except one, they basically barely pay the costs to host the information. Take that away, and I can no longer provide it.
I can agree with everyone that some ads go above and beyond annoying, akin to a commercial that raises your T.V.s volume by 50%, however, those are not the norm. Most ads are no louder than your average newspaper advertisement.
Your access to the Internet gives you a right to just that: access. From the way people talk in here, it appears they feel it is somehow their right to dictate business models to every site they visit. If you don't like the ads on a site, go to another site. Keep blocking ads, but be ready to eventually pay for content out of your pocket via subscriptions.

| With Ad-Block Plus, I can whitelist by advertiser-server, OR by website. Perhaps I wish to view the ads on this.example.web, I just whitelist the web address and now I have ads. All the ads by example.adserver will become viewable on this.example.web, but when I go to another site, other.example.web, the ads by example.adserver will be blocked again.
No one is dictating your business model. If you want ads on your site, have fun. Just keep in mind, that just as others can not dictate your choice in web design, you can not dictate how others view your site. The only way I'm going to download 150k of advertising for 1k of actual content is if the content is WORTH the bandwidth cost. And 99% of the net, isn't worth it. | |

Probably not, I would just close the site if the revenue stopped coming in.
