I don't have adblock at all, yet the elephant sometimes shows up and cries in my face. Is there any specific reason for that?

I didn't use ad block for teamliquid. But that elephant thing saying "You're hurting esports", which I feel is a really low statement made me turn ad block on because it made me so mad. Whatever I'll look at the elephant, but stop using the "You're hurting esports" thing in my eyes it's out right annoying.

I find the new widened top ad banner to be very very distracting, so I killed it.
I killed the baby elephant that comes after it too because I would feel guilty...

I am fine with the old ad and also ads on sites that I do not visit as frequently.
I ad block commercials in a stream if they are not "controlled": ie, if they are played in the middle of the game, or played whenever I hit refresh. I am fine with watching ads, and will even click on each of them, during downtime.

How exactly does ad revenue work? Am I helping TL simply by looking at the ads (ie disabling adblock) or must I click on the ads for TL to receive any money?

If it's the latter, how many of you people that "LOVE ESPORTS" click on the ads?

Yes, because I'm a esports terrorist.

But on a serious note yes I have adblock on TL because I'm 2 lazy to put in on and off.

Yes I do use adblock but that's only when I'm on my laptop (13") and the ads and other banner stuff clog up half of the screen. But I do turn it off when I'm on an external monitor.

I don't adblock anything, because I already have a mental ad filter. I don't need a technological one.

I don't, but I'm starting to think about reenabling it. Like 90% of the ads I get are for Asian dating/mail-order bride services and they really bother me.

look at a little less Asian porn and mail order sites and this will decrease!

If stream sites didn't play that same commercial over and over, have the volume too loud, and not play ad when first starting stream; then I would turn adblock off.

I don't hate esports, I think it's inappropriate, childish and kinda offensive to suggest that you hate esports because you don't like ads. I enjoy Teamliquid, and I love esports. What I don't like are ads, especially when they're 30 second long ads on streams and most of the time played 2-3 times by money hungry streamers. I have adblock on Teamliquid because I have adblock on everything.

As cute as Ele is, I don't run it on this site. As it helps the streamers too since I watch them via TL.

I don't block ads because I refuse to support X website. I block ads because they are annoying, and the site they come from doesn't change that.

I only have this site adblocked because I get enjoyment out of seeing the esports elephant crying.

The "Don't hurt Esports" thing is so absurd that it's hard to not block it. TL is a community site for some esports, but it does not directly invest its assets to esports.

What about TSL1,2,3? their team?
