This is the current adbocker pop-up on Jezebel

Can’t wait to see what they’ll say about WYPIPO on The Root’s pop-up.

“But we need them to get by and deliver the blogs you love. Please consider whitelisting us turning them off so you can continue to our content.”

I would like to go on record to say I don’t mind Jezebel and some of their points of view are spot-on, but damn. That message made me immediately think of this.

Whenever those popups show up, I just go back to oppositelock, my data is too expensive to waste on their ads. I tried refreshing a couple times, but these banner ads saying “sponsored links by kinja” or something popped up. Not sure how they’re getting past Adblock, but I don’t appreciate it.

Your frustrated energy over this keeps the lights on, and your tears cool the generator turbines.

fwiw i’ve been able to click on “i’ve whitelisted” with my adblock still on and it goes away.

But there’s still ads even with ad-block...

Lol.

For goodness sakes.

Take: I’d rather have them do that than go native ads. The current ad system is something I can deal with because it’s still honest about being advertising. Yes, there’s that Porsche bit about being a race driver, but I reckon it checks out.

Besides, until I can wire GMG $20B (intercepting transactions done by other criminal conglomerates is hard work, you know) they’re gonna have to make money with what they can.

Oh, and BTW, I’m protecting Hamilton Nolan. Even if it kills me.

I’m not frustrated, it’s just... I dunno. Statements like that can alienate readers. I was thinking about disabling the blocker to read the piece, but nah. Not with that attitude.

If anything that makes the site better because now you can’t see the articles.

I don’t mind Jezebel. I don’t visit often because I’m not their target audience, but sometimes there’s some stuff I want to read (since GMG needed to spread out of the Gawker content to various other blogs).

Too much of their content is unreadable drivel ranging from brazen misandry to garbage like this . The occasional good piece isn’t worth slogging through all the idiocy.

Did they just assume which way you swipe?

I don’t even know what that means. Like that dating app?

No one knows what it means. It’s provocative
