Blockers will win the ad-blocking arms race

And what’s wrong with that? It’s not like those sort of posts are hard to identify

They are, that’s the whole point. Granted, Boing Boing’s at least have the “Boing Boing Store” byline and the obvious ad-copy writing, but the Next Big Thing in internet advertising is paying bloggers, streamers, etc. to talk about how much they love product X without ever mentioning the endorsement. Nobody wants to see ads, so they hide the fact that they’re ads at all.

You should read our terms of service. We will never present ad copy without identifying it as such. You’re right, other sites do that, but Boing Boing won’t.
