Posted

So, we all know, and a lot of us probably do it too. I personally use an add blocker on everything, yes even on Lord Linus' videos. Well, in just 2015, Addblocking has caused a revenue loss of 21.8 BILLION DOLLARS (U$D). Overall, the past 12 months, addblocking has had a 41% spike.

 

Sauce.

 

"The report warns that ad-blocking software is a large threat to the future of free content on the web, with PageFair's 'The cost of ad blocking' study saying that close to 200 million monthly Internet users are now using ad-blocking browser extensions. The report continued, saying that sites targeting "young, technically savvy, or more male audiences" are the ones that are most effected when it comes to ad blockers."

 

I personally don't see the worst in using ad blocking software, since the webs are filled with ads all over them. Would you personally stop using adblock on Linus' videos if you knew how much it affected the revenue? Do you even use adblock?

 

If it happens to be a repost, I am deeply sorry. I went through quite a few pages without finding anything. If you are going to call it a repost, please link the original thread
