(I do the same thing with TV, by the way, using TiVo to watch shows sans ads.) If people start trying to find ways around ad-blocking, then I’ll quit visiting those sites. They can have me as a viewer (and potential consumer of products like collected versions) on my terms, or not at all.

They aren’t due my attention and they can’t take me for granted as a consumer.

In this particular case, Joey Manley has shown himself to be a really smart guy. If this model doesn’t work, then in another couple of years, I’m sure he’ll find a new one that does.

that’s a bit of a problem, isn’t it? I’m blocking most ads myself. is this model really going to work, if more and more people start using ad blockers like for example proxomitron?

I really like the notion of free content, but it seems like a shaky income model to me.

So any tips on what to try? I just don’t know a heck of a lot about webcomics.
