All The Tropes Wiki Project, Part XXXII

[robkelk]

Just a heads up -- TVT has changed its anti-ad-blocker tactics again. Like they did a few years ago, they're now refusing to serve any content whatsoever when an ad-blocker is detected.

Unusually, it doesn't appear that this particular asshattery can be laid at the feet of TVT's administration -- it appears to be imposed from above by Chris and Drew or whatever holding company they own -- they also own Snopes.com, which is also currently displaying a notice that is virtually identical save for color and styling if you dare go there with a blocker active.

I'm not having any trouble at either TVTropes or Snopes, and I always run uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

Might be something else I have installed, then.

I use an ad blocker as part of my overall security practice. I think I've set on checking pending submissions for plagiarism from a public terminal, and cross reference pending submissions on my phone. Holiday hours have been tricky at the library, but I’m there pretty often to pick up video games and Blu-rays.
