MODERATORS
Ehh. That's like accident billboards. I maintain that most people don't know they can block ads, and a large part of the masses who have heard of it think it's complicated or too hard for them.
With ad blocking I have a small tension that if I know a sort of thing exists, I presumably will find it when I search for it. So I don't want another vacuum ad.
If I don't know something exists then I have to stumble on it somehow.
The bigger problem would be if they didn't block their own ads. I honestly didn't even know they did ads so my blocking, of which they're a part, apparently is working.
