00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:09.120
ad block it actually refers to a specific one of the many and now defunct

00:00:06.120 --> 00:00:14.719
online advertisement blocking browser extension called well ad block which was

00:00:12.679 --> 00:00:19.400
later forked to become the open source ad block plus which actually competes

00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:23.599
directly with a newer also called ad block browser extension which is not

00:00:21.600 --> 00:00:28.400
related although functionally very similar confusing hey with that out of

00:00:26.119 --> 00:00:32.960
the way what functionality do these extensions have basically Bally they

00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:37.160
ride shotgun as you browse the web and with the help of either manual input or

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:42.239
the use of one of the many popular pre-done filter sets prevent you from

00:00:39.360 --> 00:00:46.680
seeing content you didn't intend by sitting between your browser and a given

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:52.079
website and checking the source of an element or feature on a web page images

00:00:49.520 --> 00:00:56.520
for example or in a video stream and if it matches anything in the ad filter

00:00:53.719 --> 00:01:01.840
list it will simply not be displayed this has obvious benefits the user's

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:06.040
page loads faster since unnecessary and sometimes inappropriate images are never

00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.840
downloaded obnoxious features like that thing where mousing over a word pops up

00:01:07.720 --> 00:01:12.600
a place to buy stuff can be ignored full

00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:16.799
page pop-ups that make you wait 5 Seconds to read an article can be

00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:21.720
skipped distracting junk on the page like seizure inducing animated banners

00:01:19.360 --> 00:01:25.439
or annoying random audio streams that are impossible to find in your sea of

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

00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:33.920
blocking ads from being downloaded especially video ads can help you save

00:01:31.759 --> 00:01:39.439
on your monthly bill especially relevant to mobile users and in some cases ad

00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:44.200
blockers can even prevent particularly scumbag ads from stealthily opening new

00:01:42.200 --> 00:01:47.799
connections to your browser and actually following you around to spy on your web

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:52.640
activities once you've left the site where you originally picked them up

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

00:01:55.439 --> 00:02:01.640
bigger decision than most people think it is and while I'm not going to give

00:01:59.000 --> 00:02:06.200
you some however will I feed my family so story since I'm obviously doing fine

00:02:04.439 --> 00:02:09.920
I'd like you to at least consider the other side of the coin here because

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

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

00:02:17.920 --> 00:02:24.680
corner of your eye those contribute to paying the server upkeep costs and the

00:02:22.920 --> 00:02:29.200
salaries of the people whose content you're consuming and by turning off ads

00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:35.120
you're deciding to not support the aforementioned content creator but lonus

00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:39.720
come on they're downloading crap to my computer or they have full volume audio

00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:44.760
ads I'm not listening to that and while traditional wisdom dictates that it's up

00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:49.800
to the content provider not the consumer to decide how much the content costs and

00:02:47.360 --> 00:02:53.879
in what manner that will be paid meaning that the proper way to vote with your

00:02:52.040 --> 00:02:58.599
wallet is actually to boycott the site outright and send a nasty letter I hear

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

00:03:00.480 --> 00:03:06.720
expectations are changing which isn't an invitation to just block all of our ads

00:03:04.799 --> 00:03:10.599
in spite of our techsavvy audience Google AdSense on this channel

00:03:08.280 --> 00:03:14.560
contributed almost enough last year to pay the full-time salary of someone here

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:18.959
at lonus Media Group that makes a huge impact on our company and thank you to

00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:23.480
everyone who lets them run it's just one of the reasons that you might have

00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:27.040
noticed clever content creators who understand the give and take

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:33.920
relationship they have with their viewers are exploring other options

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

00:03:36.799 --> 00:03:44.519
consumers decide they don't want to pay that way anymore the free ad supported

00:03:42.720 --> 00:03:49.400
internet Paradigm could be forever altered in fact it's happening already

00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:53.159
we are actually a great case study on the changes that are occurring right now

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:57.280
and only time and continued experimentation which we're doing will

00:03:55.439 --> 00:04:02.120
determine what compromise ends up working best for the Creator and the

00:03:59.799 --> 00:04:08.239
audience here's a small example on the one hand we've got YouTube an ad

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:10.519
supported platform we do enable ads but

00:04:08.239 --> 00:04:14.879
we don't enable the more lucrative but also more annoying unskippable pre-rolls

00:04:12.879 --> 00:04:19.160
at the beginning but then we counter with baked in sponsor spots at the end

00:04:17.359 --> 00:04:23.199
then on the other hand we are also experimenting with a paid model by

00:04:21.239 --> 00:04:28.320
putting our content behind a $3 per month membership pay wall for the first

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

00:04:30.560 --> 00:04:36.560
without any of the usual sponsor mentions at the end of the video that

00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:41.400
sound a little something like fresh books the online Accounting Service that

00:04:39.639 --> 00:04:46.400
lets freelance workers or small businesses take care of their business

00:04:44.320 --> 00:04:51.720
without spending all their time doing annoying paperwork it makes invoicing

00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:56.160
getting paid and tracking hours and expenses Easier by turning it into an
