Post Big companies may be paying to bypass Adblock Plus

Adholes? You mean those people who don't want flashing, processor-hogging ads? Or having to 'adjust' every website they go to? Here's a clue - so many sites are so bad that people will refuse to look at them full stop if they can't block the ads. Do they think the average person stumbles across an ad blocker? :roll:

That is AdBlock's whole business model. The add-in is free and the advertisers pay to be whitelisted.

They have to fulfill certain criteria to get on the whitelist.

No annoying adverts... So, I don't know how any of them can be whitelisted, but there you go.
