Europe's largest newspaper by circulation bans users with AdBlock

Finally we'll have some good data about user tolerance especially if this is really some high profile/high value news outlet.

So far not many went as far to ban users afaik.

Well, it's a pretty 'shitty' Newspaper, but it's sold (and presumably also read) by many Germans.

Also, you can purchase a 'premium' account on their website and (according to their own advertisement for said premium account)

'..receive UP TO 90% less ads and UP TO 50% faster loading times.'

Go figure.

Their paying version is actually quite acceptably priced really, so if I was a reader, I'd probably already be paying...

What irritates me is all the others who think they all deserve £9.99 a month. Everyone wants £9.99 a month, even for services/sites you might use twice a month or less.

The sooner they realize it's not acceptable for users to have 5 or 8 of these going, and they need to readjust their prices, the better they will be...

Every change that stops people from reading this awful newspaper should be welcomed..

though I somehow have the feeling that few of the people using AdBlock actually read Bild..
