How long till the addblockers block the addblock warning ads?

Thor · Aug 10, 2016

When you stop irritatingly bright, blinking adds I will stop blocking.

Facebook joins a list of other companies who have already installed the software to bypass blockers, including YouTube.

This. Either pay, or have ads.

It costs money to maintain servers, revenue they get from ads. So, either you pay, they get the funds to maintain their servers and you see no ads. Or you don't pay, they push ads out, and they get a revenue.

But do the ads have to be so irritating?

Ads on FB Mobile is not really bad at all. On a PC, I'll do anything in my power to block all ads.
