            1. Look, how to make a good anything: build it for your users, pay attention to your users, work with your users, respect your users.

            If users think your ads are so terrible that they are taking time to go out of their way to set something up to block them? You dun f'kd up.

          This isn't hard. You want money/clicks/time? Don't treat people like shit. It isn't sorcery. You don't need a Ph.D. Just respect your users.

        But sure... sue ad blockers. This isn't like music sharing. It is way worse. It isn't an unaddressed need, it is users protecting themselves

      This is the equivalent of car manufacturers suing a seatbelt maker because their car keeps blowing up & the seatbelt is 'keeping people in'.

    Your industry is imploding ad tech. It isn't because users should be slaves to how you want pixels to work, it is because you screwed up.

      Imagine a world where the IAB actually did its job and regulated the internet ad industry? That's some far-out science fiction right there.

        The fundamental flaw is the ad tech industry believes their users are advertisers, but they are actually readers (and publishers, sort of).

          How flawed must your thought process be to think that loading megabytes of duplicative broken tracking codes is a successful product?

            You don't need a special IAB joint lab to figure out 'how to speed up ads'. Just STOP loading tons of shit javascript.

              Facebook & Twitter get it. Don't let advertisers do this stuff, they don't understand why this stuff is bad and ad tech is exploiting them.

                The solutions for ad tech are not hard. Stop being bad at tech, don't load down your ads with JS and respect *consumers*.

                  Seriously... this level of stupidity and malice at the ad tech level is killing the web, the journalism industry, ad sales, and themselves.
