Blockers will win the ad-blocking arms race

I pointed out that disabling scripts is not an option on many sites since it will break them and they will refuse to work. It’s not 1996 and pure html any more.

Probably the next iteration will be that sites will refuse to serve you if they cannot identify you via facebook or google, trace you and spam you. You are already not far from that on cell phones, which make the lion’s share of traffic and advertising today.

Ok? Don’t use those sites?

You realize you’re not 99.999% of the market of those sites, right? They aren’t going to cater to the fringe Richard Stallman-esque crowd normally.

The same people I know personally that browse the web with no JS turned on think social media is useless and don’t understand why anyone uses or wants Facebook or Twitter.
