BAWWWWW PEOPLE BLOCKING ADS

In another Newgrounds themed post, they've rolled out their banners targeted at people running AdBlock Plus (like me).

The funny thing is, all I had to do was right click on one of them and say AdBlock Frame and now they're gone. A little playing around with Stylish hid the boxes they were in and it's back to life as normal.

Edit: I put my style on userstyles.org so others can benefit too!

GG Newgrounds.

The main complaint is that by blocking their ads, people are somehow causing them to lose money. This is bullshit, because if they get paid per impression and there are people seeing the ads, then they're still getting money, just not as much of it. Slower positive cash flow != negative cash flow. Learn basic algebra.

Aside from that, think about it. Why are the people that run ad blockers compelled to do so? The ads that have become the stain on the underpants of the internet are flashy, annoying, consume system resources for no gain to the user, and are generally intrusive. The user of the web browser should be firmly in control of the content they see on the internet, not the providers of said content. If I'm blocking your ads, it's because I wasn't going to click them anyway and they're just taking up valuable space that could be otherwise devoted to your site's content. That's what the internet is about. Content. Not advertising, not commerce, but content. If someone doesn't want to see your ads, just live with it. Don't cry and make special banners to show people in place of your ads that bitch at them for blocking your ads. That's not going to make people turn off their ad blockers.

Seriously.
