IAB Chief Blasts Adblock Plus


Randall Rothenberg:

"This is what happens when your only motivation, your only metric, is money. For that is what AdBlock Plus is: an old-fashioned extortion racket, gussied up in the flowery but false language of contemporary consumerism."

I wonder who's metrics are worse... AdBlock's monetization strategy or the metrics that led online advertising into the mess of click-bait and massive payloads that can compromise user's security?

I kind of feel like AdBlock is where its at because of IAB's member dumb, shortsighted greed.
