Yes, I am against AdBlocking, and I have my points for that. I am not writing in this blog for long time, but it just need a start. Today somehow recalled one mailed by Till from AdBlock Plus open source team. And decide to write it down very fast. This is not to offend anybody just my point.

What is AdBlocking?
Its a simple add-on for browser or plugin which will block all ads of webpage that you visit using that browser. AdBlock Plus is the most used and it have support for all major browser like Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Opera.
Why AdBlocking is Crime?
Give me Ans of those question.
1. Why piracy is crime?
2. Why software piracy is crime?
3. Why downloading music without paying is crime?
Answer is simple. You are not paying right person, deserved price. You are cheating.
When somebody placed ads on a site, he did that to earn from the site. As he have to earn from his effort, time, pay server bills and other bills. But when you are blocking ads you are cheating with site maker and stealing his earning from him.
Whats AdBlock Plus’s Explanation?
They want to give people choice what ads they want to see and what they want to by pass.
Whats My Point?
But is it really their decision? If somebody made website and put ads it means its his site, and he needs to earn from that, its not the visitors choice to see the ads or block the ads. If user dont like the site he could go to some other site, or if the user dont like the ads, he could just ignore ads by just not clicking it. I am not saying you have to click ads. I also understand how disgusting ads could be. But if website owner could make a site with that disgusting ads, then its their choice, you either tolerate that or just dont visit that site, Website owner might reduce ads after he got lower visitor.
This is not to offend anybody just my point. I wrote it under 10 minute. May be will rewite if needed someday.
