Would you pay 10$ to get a site ad-free without an ad-blocker?


Hey dpollers! =)

Today I asked myself how many people here on Steem would pay to get a website ad-free without an ad-blocker. I'm just curious, since I'm personally someone who doesn't use ad-blockers to support the content creators but if there is a chance to support them while disabling ads, I'm in.

What are you doing?^^


  • I don't use ad-block

  • I use ad-block all the time

  • I don't use ad-block and pay for ad-free content on some sites

  • I have a special answer to your question

Answer the question at dpoll.xyz.

Voted for I use ad-block all the time.

Although... if I really like the site they can have a pass :)

And SteemIT Wise, I avoid SteemIT hahaha

Hey @cadawg! Nice to see you here. =)

Yeah, using ad-block is needed sometimes. I personally never seen an ad on steemit and I don't know how they did it but my concern there was that ads could have potential to steal the keys somehow...^^

Thank you for voting. :3

@immanuel94

Nice to see you here

is what I thought when they installed a BTC ATM in the local mall hahaha

Yeah, I seen that, that's nice! I don't have something like that here in Germany near my location. =(

You'll get one soon enough! I thought they'll never put one in near me, then the Poles (Polish) come and put one in and I was like well then. Also, they certainly have a good sense of humor from their web url here

Nice, I hope so there is one soon. Because currently, people here have to register themselves using passport and most people don't like that kind of stuff...^^ I know many people who would use it. But here it is a little bit complicated with law, I think. I hope that the prices are reasonable for you at the ATM near you. =)

Yeah, See rates on the S**tcoins site, It's about 5-6% buying fees and 2% selling fees.

When I have $3k spare I'll come set one up near you! LOL!

Thank you for voting. :)

I once had ad-block and there are some days where I wish I had it. Currently trying without, most websites aren't that bad anymore...

Try Brave browser..it does it without any adbloks...and you might gain some crypto...
You should vote my poll...just for a 1 free SBI..

Yeah, that might be an option, never thought about trying it out. Why not, thank you! =)

Voted for I use ad-block all the time.

Thank you for voting, @suntree. c:

Yeah, makes sense to block all the ads off, if this is possible...^^

Voted for I use ad-block all the time.

I am thinking this is a Yes or No question but nevertheless I don't buy the idea of paying. I have adblock on and only disabled it for a particular website that instructs me to do so.

Ok! Thank you for your answer, @akomoajong. =)

Yeah, paying money for something is always hard, if it is also free available. :3

Voted for I have a special answer to your question.

I use ad-block (Adblock Plus, also known as ABP) most of the time (almost all the time) on my laptop.
I very rarely turn it off. I sometimes turn it off either to support specific sites, authors, or just to view some specific content. Sometimes I don't turn off at all, just switch to another browser, which don't use any ad-block. For example switching from Mozilla Firefox to Opera or to Google Chrome.
I currently not use ad-block on my smartphone, some advertisements are appearing on it. For example YouTube video advertisements (sometimes even surveys), but I usually skip them as soon as possible.
To answer your question: I would not pay $10 to get a site ad-free without an ad-blocker.

Ok, thank you for your answer, @xplosive. =)

I heard of ABP but it seems that they have whitelisted some pages. I'm personally not using a smartphone, are there ad-block plugins available?^^ Would make sense to disable it there because of bandwidth and stuff like that, but I can imagine that there aren't any available? ^^

I am nowadays using a Huawei Ascend Y300 with Android 4.1.1.
There are multiple options for ad-blocking on Android, but I currently don't use any of them.

Thank you for voting, hafizullah. Yeah, I can understand you with using ad-block all the time.. =D

Voted for I use ad-block all the time.

Thanks for stopping by at my poll, @syyed!^^

Ad-block is a nice thing to have. :3

Voted for I use ad-block all the time.

... but I disable it on some sites. Mostly enough if they are asking me to do it.

But there are some terrible sites with tons of ads, trackers, scipts, shouting videos and whatsoever. I simply need adblocker.

Other nice way of protection of ads could be RSS reader (e. g. Feedly). You read the titles and the leads without ads and only visit the most interesting pages.

Thank you for your answer, @deathcross! =)

Yeah, RSS reader apps are nice, I used to use RSS in a folder on Firefox but it seems they disabled that. =( Should have added a option to have the ad-blocker disabled on some sites for this poll.^^

Hello @bluerobo! =)

Thank you for your vote. :3 Yeah, but I somehow don't use it, because most websites I visit doesn't seem to have that bad ads...^^ But I can fully understand how it is sometimes really needed! ._.
