Can adblockers block your script?

@guyking That's my main concern. Shouldn't it be server side? And in that case, hard to detect adblockers... Waiting for the answer too 😃

@nathanaelkhodl @guyking In the product video it says it stops adblockers.

@nathanaelkhodl @guyking Adblock can easily block this script.

@guyking Of course. But the % of people that will circumvent this is very low and potentially has 0 impact on real possible revenue. The point of this tool does not seem to be a 100% failsafe solution, but more of friction less way to get users to pay for your content.

@vallieres @guyking Exactly, we wanted to launch with the easiest to implement solution. As we grow our network and the blocking of the Mask script becomes a problem, then we will offer new ways for our users to implement Mask.

@vallieres @guyking But most people who'll be using an ad blocking tool would be subscribed to a filter list, and trymask's script would be the first thing filter lists will block. Hence there's a high probability that, in it's current form, Mask won't have any impact.

@nilayk As of now Mask works with all the major ad blockers. As we grow our network, I assume some of the ad blockers will catch on. This will not be immediate though, and as we grow so will our abilities to block ad blockers (we already have multiple strategies for this past just the script embed).
