24 alternatives to How the web could thrive with adblock and user support
Ads suck, but what else is there? We think the answer is us--as in all of us reading the web. We are using adblockers as a way to start a conversation with readers: support us somehow, either via ads, or with a "fair pass" system, such as http://www.Atri.me/. To show how this could work on websites, we created *.demo.fairtread.co ( for instance: http://www.mit.edu.demo.fairtread.co/ ... try with your favorite site.). When you visit the demo url with an adblocker enabled, you'll see a "payment required" message. If you inspect the network tab, you'll also see…
Fairtread is a system that detects ad blockers and presents users with a choice: view ads or purchase access through a fair pass system. Website owners can implement the technology to have conversations with readers… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes. How the web could thrive with adblock and user support launched in 2016; newer entries below may have overtaken it.

Hi HN! Since Youtube no longer allows AdBlockers, I built my own extension to get around their video ads. If there is an ad it temporarily manipulates the video; Mutes the volume, sets speed to 10x, and skips it if there is a button.

I recently observed that majority of my family members and friends are not using ad blockers and reader mode for reasons suck as lack of knowledge about plugins & laziness. So their online reading experience is not pleasant as a result very less amount of them read anything including what i share. Its an attempt to give them clutter, tracker & ad free reading experience right off the bat.
