Fandom has been on a large downhill trajectory for the past several years, noticable even when looking at some of their wikis with an adblocker on. We'll see if anything actually changes for this site or any of the others listed, but "Nothing changes" is the best case scenario here probably. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Time for ads. Honestly a smart decision with adblock going away for a lot of browsers next year. Yes, us smart b8 users will work around it, go to Firefox, etc. But the vast majority will start to see more ads so why not buy up more websites and throw more ads on them --- http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcb35gGx0t1qailr4o1_500.gif http://www.megavideo.com/?v=57N0YAEJ ...

I'm hoping this - if true - is good news for contests to happen and Allen to actually get some relief. But Fandom is a large reason I run an ad blocker. If I didn't have an ad blocker, I would use the Internet far less. Aecioo posted... Time for ads.I already use Firefox and uBlock Origin and if that doesn't work anymore due to companies being anti-consumer, you may see considerably less of me. Also my instinct if a website starts playing audio without my permission is still to exit the tab. Thank goodness for uBlock - I get no malware that way, too. --- Come check out my movie watchthrough topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80167031 ... Copied to Clipboard!

redrocket posted... Aecioo posted... Google is upgrading Chrome, and thereby all Chrome-related browsers to a new protocol in the upcoming months that is allegedly for the sake of security, but has the added advantage of disabling the way that most adblockers work. Considering Google makes billions each year via ad revenue, it's not hard to see why they're doing this. And the overwhelming majority of other browsers use Chrome as a shell, so about the only browser that won't be affected by this is Firefox. Within a year, basically everyone else will likely have non-functioning adblockers. --- Only the exceptions can be exceptional. ... Copied to Clipboard!
