1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:09,120
ad block it actually refers to a specific one of the many and now defunct

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:14,719
online advertisement blocking browser extension called well ad block which was

3
00:00:12,679 --> 00:00:19,400
later forked to become the open source ad block plus which actually competes

4
00:00:17,039 --> 00:00:23,599
directly with a newer also called ad block browser extension which is not

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,400
related although functionally very similar confusing hey with that out of

6
00:00:26,119 --> 00:00:32,960
the way what functionality do these extensions have basically Bally they

7
00:00:30,519 --> 00:00:37,160
ride shotgun as you browse the web and with the help of either manual input or

8
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:42,239
the use of one of the many popular pre-done filter sets prevent you from

9
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:46,680
seeing content you didn't intend by sitting between your browser and a given

10
00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:52,079
website and checking the source of an element or feature on a web page images

11
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:56,520
for example or in a video stream and if it matches anything in the ad filter

12
00:00:53,719 --> 00:01:01,840
list it will simply not be displayed this has obvious benefits the user's

13
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:06,040
page loads faster since unnecessary and sometimes inappropriate images are never

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:10,840
downloaded obnoxious features like that thing where mousing over a word pops up

15
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:12,600
a place to buy stuff can be ignored full

16
00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:16,799
page pop-ups that make you wait 5 Seconds to read an article can be

17
00:01:14,159 --> 00:01:21,720
skipped distracting junk on the page like seizure inducing animated banners

18
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:25,439
or annoying random audio streams that are impossible to find in your sea of

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:30,040
browser tabs can become a thing of the past if you're on a limited data plan

20
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:33,920
blocking ads from being downloaded especially video ads can help you save

21
00:01:31,759 --> 00:01:39,439
on your monthly bill especially relevant to mobile users and in some cases ad

22
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:44,200
blockers can even prevent particularly scumbag ads from stealthily opening new

23
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:47,799
connections to your browser and actually following you around to spy on your web

24
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:52,640
activities once you've left the site where you originally picked them up

25
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:57,320
sounds great right where do I sign up well hold on a second this is actually a

26
00:01:55,439 --> 00:02:01,640
bigger decision than most people think it is and while I'm not going to give

27
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:06,200
you some however will I feed my family so story since I'm obviously doing fine

28
00:02:04,439 --> 00:02:09,920
I'd like you to at least consider the other side of the coin here because

29
00:02:08,239 --> 00:02:15,519
that's what everything's about isn't it money the services you sign up for the

30
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:20,319
banners or videos that you click on and even the ads that you see out of the

31
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:24,680
corner of your eye those contribute to paying the server upkeep costs and the

32
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:29,200
salaries of the people whose content you're consuming and by turning off ads

33
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:35,120
you're deciding to not support the aforementioned content creator but lonus

34
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:39,720
come on they're downloading crap to my computer or they have full volume audio

35
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:44,760
ads I'm not listening to that and while traditional wisdom dictates that it's up

36
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:49,800
to the content provider not the consumer to decide how much the content costs and

37
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:53,879
in what manner that will be paid meaning that the proper way to vote with your

38
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:58,599
wallet is actually to boycott the site outright and send a nasty letter I hear

39
00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:02,760
you that's a lot of work and most people aren't going to do that consumer

40
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,720
expectations are changing which isn't an invitation to just block all of our ads

41
00:03:04,799 --> 00:03:10,599
in spite of our techsavvy audience Google AdSense on this channel

42
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:14,560
contributed almost enough last year to pay the full-time salary of someone here

43
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:18,959
at lonus Media Group that makes a huge impact on our company and thank you to

44
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:23,480
everyone who lets them run it's just one of the reasons that you might have

45
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:27,040
noticed clever content creators who understand the give and take

46
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:33,920
relationship they have with their viewers are exploring other options

47
00:03:31,159 --> 00:03:39,760
that's your big decision that I alluded to before Nothing in life is free and if

48
00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:44,519
consumers decide they don't want to pay that way anymore the free ad supported

49
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:49,400
internet Paradigm could be forever altered in fact it's happening already

50
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:53,159
we are actually a great case study on the changes that are occurring right now

51
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:57,280
and only time and continued experimentation which we're doing will

52
00:03:55,439 --> 00:04:02,120
determine what compromise ends up working best for the Creator and the

53
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:08,239
audience here's a small example on the one hand we've got YouTube an ad

54
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:10,519
supported platform we do enable ads but

55
00:04:08,239 --> 00:04:14,879
we don't enable the more lucrative but also more annoying unskippable pre-rolls

56
00:04:12,879 --> 00:04:19,160
at the beginning but then we counter with baked in sponsor spots at the end

57
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:23,199
then on the other hand we are also experimenting with a paid model by

58
00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:28,320
putting our content behind a $3 per month membership pay wall for the first

59
00:04:25,479 --> 00:04:32,960
week that it's available on vessel.com but the benefit is that it's up there

60
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:36,560
without any of the usual sponsor mentions at the end of the video that

61
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:41,400
sound a little something like fresh books the online Accounting Service that

62
00:04:39,639 --> 00:04:46,400
lets freelance workers or small businesses take care of their business

63
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:51,720
without spending all their time doing annoying paperwork it makes invoicing

64
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:56,160
