Ad-Blockers - are you guys fighting them? How?
As far as I know, the average Ad-blocking rate on tubes is above than 50%. Huge loss of potential revenues.
Is anyone doing something different than just forbidding users to enter site/watch a movie? Cheers |

I don't care about ads and I usually encounter one instance of popup (usually a cam) I close it and move on, not a big deal.
If I ever encounter a site that contains excessive sponsored content/ads, I make a mental note and never visit it again.

Wrong question.
Trying to beat ad blockers is a dumb idea. If you get your ad past an ad blocker the consumer still won't click it. Instead of trying to find a way to beat adblockers, concentrate on making better ads, that don't annoy consumers like pop-ups and pop-unders, that don't scare the shit out of consumers like ransomware ads, and that don't treat consumers like idiots. ("Someone in [your city here] wants to fuck you right now!]") Take YouPorn.com for example. They have an ultra clean site with ads along the side of the video and the bottom. The ads are clean and usually pretty good. As a consumer, I would enjoy my visit to Youporn and probably return. Now do a search for sex tubes and try some tube site you may have never heard of before, and compare the experience.

Offer content on your own domain that you can monetize.
Forcing people with adblockers out increases bounce rates and does you no good. Segment out that traffic and utilize it. Ad Block Pro will block google-analytics.com/analytics.js so IDK if the initial hit is tracked at all but if the referral is SEO -- that referral hit a "black-hole" -- this must have some effect. |

Took an anti-adblock script from Ad Maven. My ads are visible now for all visitors.

How is your click-through rate, conversions and sales from those anti-adblocked ads?

I wouldn't forbid users from seeing your site, I'd serve them a version of your site with lower resolution video and have a pop-up that keeps reminding them they're seeing shitty video because of the adblocker.
Of course tube site owners are too stupid to think of this, even Pornhub. |

I was actually thinking that the best approach is to gently invite users to whitelist my site (providing snapshot with simple 2 clicks instruction) once they already started to watch the video, let's say after 1 min, so that they are more "engaged". What do you think?
