Over the the past year, we’ve been showing a message to those of you who use an ad blocker. This message basically says, “Hey, could you not?”. It then offers a few options: whitelist RPS in your ad blocker, become an RPS supporter to get access to an official ad-free version of the site, or ignore the message and continue reading the site anyway.
We are starting to take this third option away.
The security of my system is more important than some website that doesn't know how to fund itself without compromising it's users.
Guess this is another site I'll remove from my RSS feed.
I work in I.T. security, ads have been and continue to be a major contributor to compromising systems. These websites continue to pester people not to block ads, asking people to trust them when they don't even know what is running on their own sites and when an ad compromises our systems the websites offer nothing in return.
I long for the days when this filth wasn't polluting the internet. 🙁
