Abstract

With the rise of online advertising, the popularity of ad-blocking is rising continuously. This has resulted in great losses to the online publishers. On one hand the users of ad-blockers support the freedom of deciding whether or not they want to view the ads, the publishers claim ad-blocking as unethical and term it highly unethical. As a result the concept of anti-ad-blocking started getting popularity. Extensive efforts for the development and deployment of counter ad-blocking have escalated the tug of war between the two parties. In this paper we discuss the moral and economical arguments in favour and against online advertisements and propose a middle way solution where both the parties are mutually benefitted.
