Posted September 10, 2014 ok so i just looked at my youtube analistics and saw how many views i had/how many i actually got paid for. orange = people who dont have adblock blue = total views see the difference the gap is mostly people who use adblock, if this is what my views are like i wonder what they are like for bigger guys They're dicks because they're not wasting their own time, and not giving you money? My sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 10, 2014 I wonder how much money each of these ad views generate. perhaps a 10$ donation covers hours of watching ads. Idk, do they dynamicly choose the ads targeted for you? so atleast im informed on things I actually care about.

Posted September 11, 2014 Look I use adblock because most ads have nothing to do with the content and or are insanely annoying. I disable it on youtube but for most other sites it more of a thing I use to keep the junk out when I'm just trying to read something. If ads where less intrusive then I would turn it off but, oh well. "Peek-a-boo, you ****s, you!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idk, do they dynamicly choose the ads targeted for you? so atleast im informed on things I actually care about. There was an article in the New York times that said the average YouTube CPM (cost per 1000 views) in 2013 was $7.60. So that's 0.76 cents per view. So you could watch about 1300 thirty second adverts and contribute roughly $10. That would be about 11 hours of continuous adverts. YMMV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted September 11, 2014 I don't use adblock out of a mistrust of adblock. That being said, I'm getting tired of unskipable ads that have nothing to sell me. Exactly the same for me! "stop smoking and save your health" wtf?! im 15 why would i smoke? lol ( i know youtube doesnt know my age (hopefully) but really?

Posted September 11, 2014 Pretty sure Adblock doesn't block YT ads- I have it, and still see them. Though, I have a special filter so non-inrusive ads (like those on LTT) don't get blocked, as they support the people. But for sites like NYT and Gizmodo, I can't read shit without being bombarded by ads. Remember those Office 365 ads with the noxious orange? Gizmodo had FOUR of them on the page at once. It was ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted September 11, 2014 disable it for some youtuber such as, Rhett and Link, LinusTechTips (and all other channels made by Linus), Woodysgamertag, FPSRussia, etc anyone who I would pay to watch, I disable adblock for.

Posted September 11, 2014 well that's a major lol Meh. I wish I'd never started, but it's fucking hard as hell to quit, especially when you spend 24 hours a day with an emotionally abusive, manipulative family that you hate and plan to abandon.

Posted September 11, 2014 The reason why I keep adblock on is because if I enjoy your content that much, I will actually give you a donation or support you in another way. If you wanted to make money off a video, just make me pay for it upfront and not bitch about me not watching your ad because to me that makes me feel like you make videos for personal gain as the main reason, not for my entertainment. If a youtuber asked me to drop a like if I liked the video and I did, I will. I just don't think watching a 30 second ad is worth my time for every other video I watch.

Posted September 11, 2014 am i mistaken, or is there something wrong with the thread title in relatedness; it should read: 'adblock users have dicks ( and some are female too)' This is an alpha...this is not a beta.

Posted September 11, 2014 Sorry mate, but I ain't gonna risk my $2500+ rig to ad-delivered drive-by viruses by turning off AdBlock/Plus, No(t)Scripts, ScriptSafe, Ghostery, FlashBlock, NoCountryRedirect, ScriptBlock and other browser extensions/add-ons I use to cover my fucking arse for 1-off videos, just so someone can get a few cents from ads whilst those running the ad servers can skim a shit-tonne of data about me without prior permission. LTT gets white-listed in ABP and Ghostery because they asked nicely, but places like the Escapist (who not only beat the proverbial shit out of users on the forum who use or USED ABP in the past <see: Jimquisition episode and comment thread about Ad Blocking>, but also fill the site with enough ads that can cripple a beast of a rig) not only stay on my list of sites that ABP/Ghostery is kept enabled but are also on my "don't fucking bother with these cunts" list of places to never use again. Places like ThatGuyWithTheGlasses and Blip (for content creators I can't access otherwise), I access in an extension-less browser in a VM so they still get ad revenue but I don't risk my system to a stray advert that might sneak through Blip's screening processes, because folks like Doug Walker & Linkara ASKED for their viewers to at least try and watch their stuff without ad blocking, instead of assuming everyone who watched with ad blocking to protect their arses and not waste extra time to get the wanted content were being dicks.
