Author Topic: AdBlock is raising money to advertise itself  (Read 4620 times)

Just in case you didn't see your button flashing today to tell you the news, the creator of the AdBlock browser plugin is running a kickstarter-type campaign to start advertising it.

I don't think he understands how bad of an idea this is. Ads are part of what makes the internet go 'round, without them a lot of services might stop being free. The more people who are in the dark about adblocking, the better off we all are.
