If a website doesn’t load correctly, that’s the websites issue. My browser loads every other website fine. If I have to disable an ad blocker to see your content, that means I don’t want to see your content, because it’s an ad.
This is exactly my stance. If your website does not load because I have an ad blocker on then I don’t load your website because it’s clearly shit.
Not very “marketing” of them adding all of this friction 🤡
hmm
“Please disable your adblocker to resto–”
Yo, uBlock, see that little bitch ass window telling me to turn you off? Yeah, block element that piece of shit. Thanks bro!
this is the way
For a person being supportive of ad blocking, it’s kinda shocking to see you regurgitate script from Disney. It’s really gross.
You are an idiot.
I have spoken
Lol
I have spoken.
wdym?
“This is the way”, is what members of a Mandalorian cult from Star Wars say to reaffirm their way of life. Star wars is owned by Disney.
The “this is the way” thing became popular as the cultists would generally say it after doing something cool.
thanks for sharing that. I went to check and learnt it was used in the Mandalorian. I’m not even a fan of Star Wars, only seen the three oldies from back in the day, and didn’t even like them that much
I think this phrase is being used for longer than that movie exists, but maybe I just got it along the way
but yeah fuck disney!
but if you pirate their movies that’s cool!
that is the way
They are quoting a disney franchise. It was a common thing on the other site that seems to have bled over to Lemmy.
“Downloading chrome will improve the performance of this site”
What the fuck is this 2009?
Nah in 2009 those sites were telling you to use Internet Explorer.
Download this ActiveX component to have an extra searchbar, super usefull pinky swear!
Or was that more like 2006?
This website is using flash.
Does it mean that the website cannot work without advertisement? Does it mean it can’t be shut down? Isn’t it just a way to say yourself you are not GDPR compliant?
Always have been.
Yeah, they’ve been doing this sort of thing for quite a while.
New?
I mean sites cist money and people don’t want to pay. Ads are the only option but they have got to invasive so nope. Maybe if they just have ads relative to the site and stop tracking I’d be fine. I mean ads have infected unpeopled computers.
Ads as such are not the background problem. But the problem begins when they are based on user data and activities, instead of being contextual and when they are abusive and highly annoying, as they are often. Nobody wants several unskipable Ads of minutes on dishwasher or life insurance in the middle of a concert or that is difficult to read an article chopped by dozens of banners. Apart often also ads of fishy companies and services, which is also an security risk.
I don’t see ads nor cookie advices or other crap.
