Critics of AdBlock say that it is causing the Internet to shift into more services being offered on a subscription basis, as the blocking of ads makes ad-revenue a less feasible way of making a profit from a website.

Unfortunately, many users don't do this, as they consider the annoyance of ads more important. Still, most agree that AdBlock is a generally bad thing for music. NOTHING.
