This is why I have worries about how advertisements may evolve on Wikia. To be fair, editors do not have a reason to use Adblock in general on pages that actually do not have ads as there are zero ads to block - which is thus 99%+ pages on the domain. But I'm not impressed by the people who leave the adblocker on for no reason and its possible to deactivate Flash for the domain if that's the issue.

Knowing that the anonymous readers are getting served tabloid trash on all the pages (these magazines also have zero respect in Britian and everyone in my uni laughs at them) is pretty bad. Especially considering that it directly obstructs the "Read more" section and thus decreases the pageviews across the site (and Wikia's CPM revenue). Or convinces users to delist Wikia on their adblocker.

This is the only way I can explain the sudden decrease in pageviews to 75% on a Thursday, followed by a sudden boost to 110% compared to what it was before. Acceptable Ads please.
