Websites that block content if you're using AdBlock are fucking stupid. First, I'll eventually allow ads through if I find the website safe, and useful. Second, blocking ad-blockers drops you in the search engines. A reduction in clicking will push your website down to the bottom.

And, yes, my ad-blockers are not turned on for saidit.net.

Also, I forgot to add that a reduction in clicks/visits will have a direct impact on advertising. The big companies want their ads to be on popular websites. If you don't have a lot of visitors, you won't get their money.

There's a reason why huge tech companies don't put a 100% effort into blocking AdBlock users. There's a benefit to having anyone visit your website.

That is why i'm seriously testing how clicks are generated in our Intranet. With our finely hand-selected user base.

We want a say in who advertises with us, once we go online because we just expect 1 paying user in 1000, so it will be very expensive, before it actually generates some money overflow.
