I dont understand why people get mad at this. Its like flicking around channels to avoid ads, and guess what, they are still up and running. Also it makes the sites nicer looking. Ads are a pain in the ass most of the time no matter their purpose.
Though i dont block them when i use my tablet to access stuff, so i am not a "complete asshole".
Frankly I don't want to offend anyone, but adblocking IS an asshole move, especially if you've been around long enough in the internet to not fall for ad traps.
No, it's nothing like flicking around channels to avoid ad, that's a 100% innacurate comparison.
Think like this, TV ads are paid beforehand to the broadcaster to be there. Youtube ads aren't, the content creator will only get any share of the money IF the ad is seen (and more if clicked), so you're basically, with ad-blocking, blocking the income of a thousand of people (not just youtube, mind you) just because you don't want a minor annoyance on your screen. It's really gets me angry how people don't get how much bad ad-block does for people who live off the internet, you're getting the content for free anyway, what's the problem with supporting them by losing like 2 seconds to close an ad or just ignore it on the side of the screen? That's extremely selfish.

yes you could actually, just not make money out of it....unless you added commentary. See, what people aren't understanding here is that LPers aren't just playing through the game, it's not just a plain walkthrough in most of the cases, they have WORK put on it. Be it improvising, or writing a text or segment. Are you really against people making money off their hard work? I mean, sure, the game's not theirs, but LPs actually give Nintendo free publicity, it's word of mouth but on a higher level. Even people like JonTron or PeanutButterGamer are getting screwed over, and they make videos that are MUCH MORE than just playing the game, with humor, writing and a lot of editing. I think people who are supporting Nintendo here are being extremely superficial about it.
