Forbes started by asking nicely for people to disable ad blocking on their site, stating that their ads were not obnoxious nor dangerous. I complied, just to find myself overwhelmed by some of the most obnoxious, heavy, and dangerous ads around. The solution? STOP VISITING FORBES. It's that simple. It also shows that you can't trust the publishers themselves to rate their own ads, and that's why an initiative like ABP's one is a good thing. |

that was my solution. i've never found an article on forbes that was really critical to my life that i couldn't live without. generally its some clickbaity headline that i'm only very mildly interested in knowing what they have to say, and i'm happy to find some other source of basically the same information if i actually care. the only thing that forbes offers over their competition is that they wind up at the top of google results because all that ad revenue must get poured into hiring SEO optimization experts...
