The Rise of Adblock Shaming

To content publishers; It's not the ads I have a problem with, it's the spy-ware tracking behaviour associated with the ads you show is the reason why I'm using an "ad" blocker.

Oh, for me it's totally the ads I have a problem with. They're distracting and I didn't visit the site to see them. I'm not surprised that publishers have resorted to moral appeals to support the business model they've chosen, but I'm not swayed by those appeals either.

Also, occasionally some malicious Javascript gets ran.

But ad networks and the sites that host ads won't jump to compensate you for that.
