More than 20 percent of its audience blocks ads, according to the publication, compared to 16 percent of the U.S. online population as of the second quarter of 2015, according to PageFair.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Wired has already been in the ad blocking trenches for some time. To people who whitelist the site, it\u2019s offering an ad-light experience, with only standard display ads and no pop-ups, in-line video ads or autoplay video ads with sound. It also introduced a $1-a-week ad-free site for people who don\u2019t want to see any ads (or be tracked by them).<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>NY Times wants $5 a week for its content. I think that\u2019s really high but Wired\u2019s single-focus and $1 a week pricing seems really smart. I see this as a no-brainer for fans of the publication. $50 a year seems crazy but $4 a month sounds good (yes I know they\u2019re the same).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"via DigiDay: Wired has a bigger ad blocking problem than the average publication, owing to its tech-savvy audience.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2016-08-30T23:58:31Z","apple_news_api_id":"40a10e2b-f456-4c31-8680-1fee08ffce0b","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2016-08-30T23:58:31Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AQKEOK_RWTDGGgB_uCP_OCw","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5918","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-linked","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-1xs","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":5059,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2015\/10\/06\/linked-welcome-to-the-block-party\/","url_meta":{"origin":5918,"position":0},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Welcome to the Block Party&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"October 6, 2015","format":false,"excerpt":"via The Awl: The central philosophical dispute over ad-blocking goes something like this: Publishers have no right to force readers to be exposed to certain kinds of ads or allow numerous third parties to collect their information without a prior agreement; readers have no right to read or view content\u2026","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Linked&quot;","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":5458,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/02\/17\/linked-inside-the-company-thats-made-viral-videos-big-business\/","url_meta":{"origin":5918,"position":1},"title":"Linked: &#8220;Inside the Company That&#8217;s Made Viral Videos Big Business&#8221;","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"February 17, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"via Wired: Jukin makes its money licensing videos to others.
