Or even better. Blocks the AdBlocker user from viewing your content/website until they disable AdBlocker

I wonder why Google doesn't just buy these guys out.

Because Google already paid Adblock to disable blocking Google's products by default. Anyway, Google does not want to appear more evil than they already do. Google's prophet, Matt Cutts, has quite a following and they do not want to risk losing the mind control that they have over these people.

I'm a little confused, so sorry if this sounds stupid lol. But if Adblock wants everyone to install there plugin, wont that leave only Google ads on websites for everyone? Making it technically not the end of Google but actually making them more profitable? :/

let's make the web a better place by removing the source of income for the people taking their time to make the web what it is. brilliant plan.
i wonder if they pulled this off if it would actually help spam, since everyone would think they blocked all ads/spam and maybe would trust links their friends posts even more than now.
meh. id still like to hear their ideas on how they expect websites with real traffic to stay afloat if their little plan works. anyone even know what another viable option would be besides asking for donations or text ads inside content (more annoying than banners IMO)

Google's ads were blocked by default. Once Google ponied up the money and paid Adblock, blocking Google ads had to be manually set by each user. Not a big deal for most of us here, but a lot of the less technically inclined won't take the time to block Google. So yes, in a way this move by Google will make them more money then they otherwise would have. When you are a monopoly, in complete control of many industries, you have the funds to do these sort of things. But it also can be looked at as a strongarm tactic from Adblock.

Adblock is nice, but i mainly use it for blocking pop ups. if the ads dont bother me surfing then i have no reason to disable it.
Viewing ads could be nice, you know what other companies are promoting, bring you good ideas for your business.
If Adblock can be coded to have the function of only blocking annoying ads, how great is it ehh?

Actually if you get in contact with adblock they'll whitelist you're ads. There're a few things though like the ad can't have noise (main reason why I use it) or be right in the middle of content.

Adblock does not block ads above the organic listings.
