Reflection:

 

        Ad-Blocking Software bring benefits to a tons of people. no one like online ads, online ads can be a pop-up window advertise whatever the item or service is or maybe when you watching a video it suddenly stop and switch to showing an ads an example of that would be Youtube videos. As a user you desperately and wishes those ads would be gone forever so you will find Ad-blocker is a good thing but for those website that are running ads to earn profit it will be a disaster. Like in the article how the website owner describe ad-blocker “Imagine running a restaurant where 40 percent of the people who came and ate didn't pay. In a way, that's what ad blocking is doing to us.” At the end of the day i think people don't care what ad-blocker brings to the website owner, i think they don't care if the website is making money or not as long as they are getting rid of ads but at the moment the website as close down i think that's when they are concerned.
