Just once and for all understand, people who do not want to see ads and you force ads on them, will not come to your site. All you're doing is making the user experience worse and decreasing your site's worth. And people will remember who was so rude to them.

I've been there.

Don't do it.

If your website is monetized through ads, why would you want these people to visit it in the first place?

They will share your website with others, post links to it on social media, etc. Websites are all about driving traffic to it. Also, "these people" are also often willing to pay for good content if it's priced right. Substack is a good example of this, even if some of the prices are still too high.

Are you sure? One of the main sites people use adblocking is Youtube — instead of just paying for Youtube premium.

I'd like this sentiment to be true, but do we have good empirical evidence for/against it?
