I copy pasted it, so no

“The earth is surrounded on all sides by an ice wall that holds the oceans back. This ice wall is what explorers have named Antarctica. Beyond the ice wall is a topic of great interest to the Flat Earth Society. To our knowledge, no one has been very far past the ice wall and returned to tell of their journey. What we…

By this logic, we all should be learning smoke signals. No need for electricity or batteries then!

I mentioned this in a response to Adam but...

You know the hardest part of playing chicken? Knowing when to flinch.

How can you declare war when the Korean War never officially ended?

Very scary. However, I am surprised by the reaction of the cameraman based on typical dashcam reactions.

Happened in the UK so most likely driver was on the right hand side of the vehicle, away from the lamp post; still probably very banged up.

I whitelist most sites I read. Gizmodo is one I have yet to whitelist for a simple reason. Opera has reported that on a SINGLE page there were 49 blocked ad calls. 49 on one page. Forty fucking nine. To me, that seems excessive. When I did whitelist you for a short time I was greeted by a full page with a countdown,…

Winner! I support any and all add blocking. Sites don’t seem capable of curating their bloody ads to ensure pop-ups and pop-unders don’t have viruses. Every virus I’ve gotten in the last few years has been because of horrible ad practices so I don’t step foot on the web without adblock now. Fuck any site that tells me…

right on.

I’m in the same boat and they are the ones that ask me to white list them the most. I always wish there was a way to respond “I only installed this because of you”

Every once in a while I’ll whitelist gawker/gizmodo network sites and instantly regret it and they get blocked again.

I like it when it does the countdown but the ad doesn’t load. Now they’ve annoyed me and didn’t get their message across.

I am so not on your side, Rhett. Autoplay anything is wrong - I do not need crap ads playing when I open a page before I even know whats going on, I should get to choose when that ad or video plays. If it is a video, I’ll play it since that is usually part of the article or is the point of the page... and if it is an…

This whole network is lousy with ads and is the main reason I started using ad blocking on my iPhone. I unblock websites I frequent that have unobtrusive, relevant ads. This is not one of them, back from the days when it was Gawker.

This article reeks of your advertising department exercising unconscionable control over editorial. Auto-play video is a cancer to the internet and ANY step to stamp it out is a welcome one. I don’t give a shit about any other opinion, particularly not bought and paid for FUD like this.

No, Rhett, here’s why YOU should be worried.

Blocking annoying ads is only part of the equation. The more problematic, dangerous aspect is “malvertising”, where ads can actually infect your computer with malware (including ransomware). That’s really my main motivation for using an ad blocker. And if Google can actually force ad networks into increasing their…

This is a good change. Nobody likes a shill, or your shitty taboola ads. I will disable my content blockers on this site when y’all prove you can be trusted to not FUCK your content with autoplay ads, extremely long commercials for extremely short videos, and heinously interrupting in-line ads. In short, never,…
