Here's the Adblock Plus fanboy spamming AdBlock by Michael G. The ABP fanboy even spams other extensions like FlashBlock: Here's how the user posed as both an Adblock Plus spammer and decoy: Here are a few screenshots showing how the Adblock Plus decoy/poser user account was used to post 63 messages on the ABP page, and 116 on the AdBlock page: The sets were organized by user account ID and only those with an unusual post count (above 5) were analyzed. The data comes from two sets of 1,000 messages, each collected from both AdBlock and Adblock Plus pages. One of them, with 63 messages to date, even serves as a poser whose job is to post spam and then blame it on other users. They're also used as decoys who post fake positive reviews.

There are around 4 user accounts that are being used to monitor the ABP page, and serve as Adblock Plus guardians who seem always counter negative feedback.

Out of ~1,000 user accounts used to post comments on the ABP page, only about 2-3 were used to post spam while it's over tripled the number on the AdBlock page, and that's not including the copycats!.

Around 10% of spam goes to Adblock Plus, while the rest goes to AdBlock-it dwarfs the amount of ABP spam.

The total volume of spam produced by this individual together with these copycats is staggering.

Unfortunately, many websites business models abuse this, with intrusive pop-up ads, trackers. In a world where online advertisements are viewed as a necessary evil to keep websites free to access, ad-blockers are becoming more and more popular. AdBlock Plus is slightly advanced than AdBlock. I'm not going to prove these facts to you. These are the best adblockers for Chrome. AdBlock Plus extension is designed to block every type of Ad while accessing web pages, using Firefox browser. Since then, numerous copycats have spawned. The flood of spam you're seeing at the gallery was started by an Adblock Plus user(singular) and traces back to 2010.
