I'm not a fan of ad blockers. I understand people's "moral" justification for using them (decrease bandwidth demands, limit tracking, etc.) but ad blocking really hurts businesses and jeopardizes content we expect to consume for "free". That said, this is one of the more creative ad blockers I've seen.

@rrhoover Thanks for your comment Ryan. Indeed, the idea was to promote in a creative way some cool artists and to cut with the traditional ad blocker simply deleting the ad.

@rrhoover I couldn't care less if Facebook or google lose out on a few bucks worth of ads. For supporting businesses that I care about, I actually try to purchase whatever they're selling to to substantially help their business. Note: If you can make your business model ad-block proof (i.e. not rely on ads but focus on acquiring revenue through means that also delivers more value to the readers), your business will be much better off in the long-run.

@arasheedphoto @rrhoover ... the questions become; how inexpensively can you hit your market's value threshold? And; how large will that population be?

@jimcanto @rrhoover That all depends on the specific market you're in ;)

Seriously guys? You just replacing fb ads with your own ads in "artistic" way. Sure, I agree that is a nice approach to customer, but saying that ads replacing with cool piece of art, that's too much.

@gytis_oziunas The idea is not to replace the fb ads with other ads. But just to feature an artist and give the opportunity to people enjoying art to discover new paintings.

Hi guys, we created this chrome extension in order to replace Facebook ads by cool pieces of art. We feature a different artist or style every week. By clicking on the icon of the extension, you will be able to get some information about the featured artist. We would love some feedback!

Great idea, but I am really looking forward for a Safari extension. I see more and more people switching to Safari, because of Chrome's RAM consumption. I find latest version of Safari really good.

@iamdeveloper .. off topic; what browser would you use on a Widows machine?

@jimcanto Apart from discovering new great things, the next most important purpose of communities are to 'Improve', so it is not at all 'off-topic'. You may have no other option than Chrome in Windows, but Mac users have Safari, and it is getting better and better, and most people I know are switching to it, probably bcoz of chrome's HUGE ram usage. Hence my suggestion for a Safari extension. :-)

While I try hard to not use Adblockers for all the reasons @rrhoover stated, I still think this is genius! →Just shared to Google Plus: https://plus.google.com/+Kristin.... 😍🤓🤗 -While my share may not be a total journalistic win (lol), hopefully you feel loved and appreciated all the same.😊 Thanks for the intent as well as the development!

One of the best extensions I've seen lately! I don't usually have much time for art discovery and curation, and that's an awesome way to find interesting artists while beatifying my Facebook feed! ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!

FeedArt looks amazing! Sorry @rrhoover. I emphatically disagree. The rise of adblockers is proof that consumers like you and I refuse to accept the deceptive practices by large publishers and ad networks. The economy of the internet is funded by advertising but unfortunately it has reached a breaking point - too many trackers, deceptive behind-the-scenes manipulation and private selling of our personal information. The web badly needs a business model overhaul and adblocking is the internet's brexit - a necessary step in marking the start of a substantial change that unfortunately can hurt the little guy today for a better tomorrow. PS This podcast was quite insightful - https://www.producthunt.com/post.... Again great work FeedArt - More style and less clickbait!
