Forbes and Wall Street Journal are the worst.

Now Forbes won’t let you on their site if you have an ad blocker. Which means Forbes gets no hits from me.

What I don’t get is what advertisers are stupid enough to pay to be on a site that nobody can or will view their ads? Either because the site will crash their browser or they have an ad blocker. Stupid.

There was an article the other day about how Forbes had downgraded some CEOs wealth to nothing. I wanted to read, but Forbes wouldn’t let me in. So, I googled the gal’s name... there was another site that let me read the article.

Too bad, so sad, Forbes.

If you turn off the ad blocker they still won't let you through.

Bye, bye Forbes

I agree about Forbes. Most difficult sites I can manage to use with a little finagling of my AdBlock and NoScript settings. But Forbes is one site that I cannot access at all. I have given up on them. I'll bet the managers there are wondering why their web traffic seems to be lagging.
