"Disabling Ad-Block" by Nose Ears
(wuzzy.neocities.org)
"disable adblock" popup = close tab
Use adblock to disable the anti adblock popup
Gone... Reduced to atoms
They say: "Disable adblocking to visit our site"
I hear: "DO NO visit our site"
I have nothing against ads in principle. Anyone who offers a service such as a useful website should of course be rewarded for it.
What I am against is intrusiveness and tracking. If advertising were just simple locally served banners in the sidebars of the website without any tracking, as it used to be, I would have no problem with it.
Exactly. To let advertisers intrude on your brain for what you get in exchange is usually an unfair bargain. People really undervalue their attention and time.
I have crippling ADHD and I am constantly amazed at how little people value their attention. Just baffled watching folks melt their brains on things like TikTok.
It's like watching a teenager buying drugs. Just... you don't know what consequences this could bring you.

And didn't let anybody run scripts on your page, and had any kind of filtering so people won't get malware by clicking on the ads.
Not to mention ads have been caught being straight up malware and phishing without any real vetting on behalf of the ad companies. Malware has even gotten to the top of Google search results just by buying an ad slot they didn't vet. It's become a legitimate and serious security concern.
In the same way that a year ago I watched YouTube with ads. I’m not watching with ads if it’s even close to the same amount of ad as video
I'd rather have the internet die than to watch ads. I don't want to see it burn, but I am prepared to pay that price.
Don't worry, the internet won't die. It was just fine before ads.
There were definitely ads floating around on ARPANET in the late 70s, even though weren't technically allowed. It's kinda been with the internet all along.
im there to. I love it but I would rather go everywhere in person than the crappy options we have today.
Web commerce in particular doesn't depend on web ads at all.
pop over says to disable content blockers
Me: uses content blockers to block pop over
Well this led me down a rabbit-hole. I thought the character looked familiar, which led me to their origin from an older comic by a different creator. And the discovery that the original creator is anti-trans, yuck.
Glad to see Mimi and Eunice in better company these days. Thanks for posting this comic!
And then there are "disable ad-blockers" + "Ad-free subscription" sites
The fourth panel is a literal gun emerging from the screen & threatening your loved ones.
If you've allowed enough trash from a website to run on your browser that they are then able to run checks to determine whether you are blocking ads, then you have been far too lenient with your blocker settings.
Somehow this doesn't fully represent how actual AD popups are obnoxious nowadays
I find them far too distracting from the content.
I have a hard time focusing when the TV is on in the background, and a lot of ads are like having multiple TVs in the bgr.
So I turn them off.
