Hulu can suck it. They refuse to let you watch anything if you use an ad blocker.

I blacklist any website that does that, I don't care what it is.

I have a real hard time being this black and white.

Good websites that are in general just trying to earn enough from advertising to keep themselves afloat - Take ML for example - deserve to get revenue from their money making solution (i.e. ads in most cases).

It's when sites go way over board and have all kinds of pop ups and inline ads, etc.. those sites should die a bloody death!.

Fair enough, but take Hulu as an example. Their paid tier costs more than Netflix, and they still show you ads. Whole bunch of NO to that.

I really only unblock pages when the ad blocker breaks something on the page. ML is the only site I've ever whitelisted.

Any public/free website that forces you to view something you don't want to see gets blacklisted, I don't care how "nice" the forced content is. Similar to cable TV, but in that case you're already paying for it and still get stuck with WAY too many forced ads.

There is a difference between viewing ads on a site that lets you ad block versus blocking sites that block ad blockers. What they are saying isn't addressed by what you said. They aren't saying that they wouldn't view ads there, but that they wouldn't go to their sites because of how they treat people with ad blockers.

Also, ad blockers are often about blocking ad networks, it's a security thing, not an ad thing. Those sites are free to host their own ads.

I just avoid them because they suck. Simple as that.

A big part of the reason that I "block" cable at home.

Me too, my post was merely a statement on why they suck.

Exactly, if a site hosts their own ad banners, I've no issue with that!
