User blog comment:Tedgill/Making Ads Better: How We're Going to Do It/@comment-8008748-20170202145402

I personally use add block throughout my wikia, I don't see any purpose in turning it off. it's not about the fact that I don't want you to make money, but it's just not realistic to have the ability to block intrusive/annoying adds and choose to ignore it. Very few people would choose to exclude big sites like these when they have the option to have a clean and safer browsing experience.

Perhaps you should make your adds less like adds, and more like endorsements -- like, perhaps if you had articles on the product that you can read instead of little "shoot the target" games that are just click bait for money -- yeah you will get less click through, but the end result would probably be more people geniunely interested in a product,

I have never actually bought a product due to an advertisement, I always hear about it from friends, or browse it in store/online -- the most prevelent places I get my "wish list" from is places that "review" the product, such as computer magazines, wikipedia articles on it, or otherwise. Sparingly do I click adds - it's like clicking click bait on youtube of a half naked video game char - you know there will be no naked zelda, so it's just insulting to yourself to click it.

Hope that helps :)
