Exactly, nothing dumber than a webmaster or online marketeer using an ad blocker.
Most of the knowledge you can get in this business is by surfing around your competitors or other sites in different verticals (mainstream etc) to see what and how others are selling so you can apply your own ideas to improve that.
And I agree that ad blockers are a problem not only for the adult industry but for the online business in general. Imagine if there was a way to skip commercials in TV, the whole business would die, in fact it has a been a problem with TIVO already, as you can record TV shows and skip commercials, but at least you need to pay monthly amount to do that.
Ads in general are our marketing tools, not only the tools that tube owners use, i don't know of any legit site, blog, tgp, whatever not using some kind of ads. How else are you going to sell something in your site? even if it's your own promos, you need to show some kind of banners.
Of course a chain of 3 pops is very annoying, but things are not white or black, there must be grey for us to make money.
