“disable adblock” popup = close tab
Use adblock to disable the anti adblock popup
They say: “Disable adblocking to visit our site”
I hear: “DO NO visit our site”
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.
im there to. I love it but I would rather go everywhere in person than the crappy options we have today.
pop over says to disable content blockers
Me: uses content blockers to block pop over
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.
Somehow this doesn’t fully represent how actual AD popups are obnoxious nowadays
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.
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!
It’s usually other companies wanting you to buy their shit, not the site that the ads are shown on. That site “makes its living” by selling ad-space to these other companies.
I dislike ads just as much as the next person but I feel like this representation is disingenuine.
This is fair
However, it’s up to the site how they choose to display ads, and UI/UX. If the content pane is like 1/4 the size of my screen, we’re gonna have problems
If the screen had shouted “Buy this shit!” Would it have hit different? I had the same thought. I’ve seen a few sites that advertise their own wares and they are sketchy. I think the issue is that the site is still in charge of how much advertising they show. Usually, they’re showing unrelated ads, but they’re showing a lot of them.
I dislike ads just as much as the next person, and I’m just curious if I understand you properly.
