Adblock Plus, together with partner ComboTag, on Tuesday launched the beta version of the Acceptable Ads Platform. AA is an interactive platform that pre-whitelists ads publishers and bloggers then can place on their sites. It will only contain only ads that abide by AA’s criteria for size and labeling, and their placement will be governed by the AA rules. “This is just a technical extension and improvement to Acceptable Ads,” said Adblock Plus spokesperson Ben Williams.
Ad blockers never were the solution to the ad problems. They were a band aid and quick solution in a way that would never work long term. Web sites depend on ads to pay for providing the web site. many smaller sites really depend solely on this revenue channel. Bigger sites probably could survive with less ads. They consider their site an extension on the business model. What's interesting is how we got to this place where ad blocker's began to allow or white list ads. Well it really comes down to the developers who create these ad blockers want money to support the development. See, I think people love to use ad blockers but they don't contribute anything to the cause. Eventually the ad blocker developer either finds revenue source or just stops doing the extension. Too bad users are not willing to pay a few bucks to stop ads and provide a source of revenue to the developer. For myself the ad blocker is not the solution, I don't frequent sites as much who paint their pages with ads. I can go elsewhere for information. Also, the ad people are beginning to find holes in the ad blocker system anyway. Either buying into a white list or they simply find ways around it. I hope eventually two things happen. One is ads become more tolerable and acceptable and two websites begin to realize that ad quality and quantity is important. Maybe then we can all enjoy web sites the way we want too.
Yes you are right mainly it works better if you are watching or streaming movies online.We don't want unwanted ads to shown when we are watching something or finding some information which is urgent.
