Sensationalist click bait article... Putrid sauce: http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/13/12890050/adblock-plus-now-sells-ads

Twitter, as usual, is melting down with people freaking out about it.
It's not like they are hiding the fact that they don't block 100% of ads.

I don't mind the unobtrusive ads at all. What I cannot stand is a site that makes you scroll past an add, or has a popup that will ask you to enter your email or one that you have to scroll past, or anything that generally detracts from the article I'm trying to read. I no longer will stay on a web site the moment I get an ad that gets in my way.

Pretty much this. I stopped reading a few news sites because they insisted on either a pay wall or a sub wall.

I don't think everything should be free... but either show me a few ads that stay out of my way, or charge me for it.

It's open source, if people actually don't like it, they could just fork it.

Some would argue that it's already forked...!!!

I use Ublock Origin, It's faster and use less memory.
And by now they don't sell ads.

I too pay for a few sites... Journalist that I like.
