LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Adblock Plus is launching a new service that... uh, puts more ads on your screen. Rather than stripping all ads from the internet forever, Adblock Plus is hoping to replace the bad ads — anything it deems too big, too ugly, or too intrusive — with good ads, ones that are smaller, subtler, and theoretically much less annoying. It’ll begin doing that through an ad marketplace, which will allow blogs and other website operators to pick out so-called “acceptable” ads and place them on their pages. If a visitor using Adblock Plus comes to the page, they’ll be shown those “acceptable ads,” instead of whatever ads the site would normally run. “It allows you to treat the two different ecosystems completely differently and monetize each one,” says Ben Williams, Adblock Plus’ operations and communications director. “And crucially, monetize the ad blockers on on their own terms.” “Acceptable ads was a pivot toward what we think is better.” The marketplace is a extension of the Acceptable Ads program that Adblock Plus has been running since 2011. Since then, the ad blocker has defaulted to “whitelisting” approved ads, so that they show up even when users have the blocker turned on. But the program has been fairly limited in scope, since publishers and ad networks need to specifically work with (and pay) Adblock Plus to have their ads deemed acceptable. It’s a time-consuming process, Williams emphasized, which limits how many websites can sign up to display ads to would-be blockers. You can get uBlock Origin as an alternative. http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/13/12890050/adblock-plus-now-sells-ads Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LetsGetHigh 52,683 Posted September 13, 2016 Author Share Posted September 13, 2016 @Admin Quote mechanism seems to be glitchy. Whenever I write "You can get etc" outside the [*/quote] code, it automatically includes it in the quote. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And due to it being a bad word it has to be censored so GGD can keep it's moolah to run on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
