Re: [projectvrm] The Rise of AdBlock Reveals A Serious Problem in the Advertising Ecosystem | Monday Note

["Wunderlich, John" < >]

I'd like to hear their response as well. The secondary theme in the piece was about how the company does make money - including white listing and 'acceptable' ads. If I read it correctly this isn't about allowing users to _expression_ intention, but rather trying to align the ad economy with what they believe most users will find acceptable.

By downloading the plug-in AdBlock Plus (ABP) on a massive scale, users do vote with their mice against the growing invasiveness of digital advertising. Therefore, suing Eyeo, the company that maintains ABP, is like using Aspirin to fight cancer. A different approach is required but very few seem ready to face that fact."
