The response to this by the members of this community is very interesting. On the one hand, there have been many calls and support for micropayments for content. Here is a publisher offering access to their articles for a low cost. The response? People want to "fix" the issue, instead of respecting the publisher. They are offering low cost way to view the content mostly ad-free. Isn't this what we should, as readers, hope for? An alternative to ads that is low cost, and still supports the publication? What am I missing here?

FWIW, the Washington Post started doing this last month...and at some point they've apparently decided to stop doing it:<a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/matthewzeitlin/the-washington-post-begins-blocking-ad-blockers#.kwY6X76g0" rel="nofollow">http://www.buzzfeed.com/matthewzeitlin/the-washington-post-b...</a>> In one case, using Chrome with AdBlock on, the Post had a dialog box redirecting users to enter their email for a free six week subscription. The anti-AdBlock measures don’t seem comprehensive just yet — we were able to view articles after clicking through from a search results link in Firefox with the ad blocking software turned on. But when we clicked through to another article on the site, the redirect screen popped up.

War indeed. Well, since AdBlock introduced me to that addictive clean-browsing crack, I can't go back.I don't read Bild but as I've said before, most content I view online falls under entertainment anyway. So, being blocked on sites as an AdBlock user (like Forbes now does) can only cut my procrastination time short, which isn't a bad thing.Plus, ads are not the only way to make money online. So, if it isn't working for a company, then it's time to pursue another business model.

I'd like to see a comprehensive history of adblocking. from webfree to adblock [0] to wherever we are today, because it seems like we're stuck in a cycle. Time and time again i see the web and it's users going through the same motions [1] [2]. It's the same arguments and the same experiments being tried, whose success and failure are as predictable as ever [3]. Today is just another day under the falling sky.[0] <a href="http://adblock.mozdev.org/" rel="nofollow">http://adblock.mozdev.org/</a>[1] <a href="http://www.zdnet.com/article/browser-makers-warned-against-ad-blocking/" rel="nofollow">http://www.zdnet.com/article/browser-makers-warned-against-a...</a>[2] <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20071011004456/http://whyfirefoxisblocked.com/index1.php" rel="nofollow">http://web.archive.org/web/20071011004456/http://whyfirefoxi...</a>[3] <a href="http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/03/why-ad-blocking-is-devastating-to-the-sites-you-love/" rel="nofollow">http://arstechnica.com/business/2010/03/why-ad-blocking-is-d...</a>

Fair play to them for trying, but this approach will only work for sites that host or create original content.If it's a site that just runs Reuters feeds or press releases with some 'editorialisation' then they'll likely feel the impact of the back-button.Recently I tried searching for details of the new Light.co camera. The first two pages of Google results were filled with exactly the same release, regurgitated on dozens of websites. None of them were useful to me, but it shows how much competition there is for eyeballs.

Without confronting the massively pro-adblock crowd here head on, I just want to ask what the statistics are for Adblock use Internet-wide. Is it 10% of users or a much smaller figure?

>“Whoever does not switch off the adblocker or does not pay cannot see any content on Bild.de, as of now,”uBlock origin with default settings seems to load their "content" fine and without ads. If that changes, I'm sure one of the optional filters like "anti-adblock killer" will be updated accordingly

I'm more than happy to pay for high quality content. For example, I pay for a subscription to LWN. But there are some things for life you'll take (in small doses) for free, but would never pay for - for me, tabloid journalism falls into that category.

I'm sorry but who gives a shit about Bild. Pretty much everyone who reads this crap wouldn't understand what AdBlock does in the first place.

They're checking for "SMART AdServer" only. Fake that and it still works.

Should be interesting to see what Google makes of this; it seems to be flirting with crossing the line into "showing different content to visitors than the crawler", if the anti-adblock script runs for a Google referer.

Never heard of 'em.My gut tells me that by the holiday season we'll see more major sites blocking ad-blockers.And, of course, we'll just use different tools. Or better yet, change our browser signatures. After all, it's a courtesy to content providers for consumers to tell them what kinds of tools they're using. That courtesy can be rescinded.This entire spy vs. spy scenario makes me sad. I'm very sorry that the internet thought that folks walking by a storefront looking at your sales copy was a monetizable event. It is not. It was simply a fluke of the way the default technology was constructed.And now I fully expect to see large, well-funded players enter the fray -- on the side of content providers. That's also a bad thing. Going to be a lot of pain before this gets sorted out.

I'm happy about everything that decreases their reach even a tiny bit. Bild is the worst kind of "yellow press" and way to influential.

I was wondering about this the other day and thought someone here might know. How does one even determine if an ad blocker is running?
