Here's is my ONE issue with adblock.
We have a clothing recommendation engine that helps people discover clothes and we wanted to provide the service ad free. We chose a platform called viglink which affiliates the existing outbound links to the clothing vendors and if the user ends up purchasing something we are given a commission.
I think this is a fair model where we are compensated for our service and the user is 100% unaware and not bothered.
However, in the past month adblock has decided to block this despite the fact it provided zero nuisance to the end user. We managed to create work arounds but it's a frustrating issue.
- nodata 14y agoWhen you brought this up with the Adblock folks, what did they answer?

- SwearWord 14y agoWe did not receive any response from them, I figure they get plenty of complaints about people's sites being blocked and ours just got lost in the mess.
- slavak 14y agoDid you try contacting the developer of AdBlock and asking him about this?
- SwearWord 14y agoSee above response.
