The Death Of Adsense and similar ads?

So many of you are fairly familiar with browser addons that block ads. To be honest I can't blame users. Websites like Youtube are the primary cause of the increasing popularity of ad blockers in my opinion. These ads force people to endure the most invasive ads possible. Being forced to watch a 1 minute advertisement to then view a 30 second video is like getting metaphorically brain raped by a corporate pigs. Can you imagine the pain a person would have to endure if the likes of Justin Bieber had an advertisements playing before their video? He has the ability to increase bounce rate to 99%.

The problem with people downloading an ad blocker for youtube is that ad blockers by default block every type of advert everywhere, unless you actually spend the time to set it up to do otherwise. But how many users ever consider us webmasters when installing an ad blocker? Probably none.

The thing is that ad blockers are now ever growing in popularity. There are a few things it can't detect and block though such as an image ad with a link to a website. For example if I was selling trampolines for dogs then I could create an image ad to my Ebay auction or official dog trampolines selling website. Maybe the day will come where we will need to replace traditional ads such as Adsense with our own products. I know a lot of people using ad blockers wouldn't click on adverts anyway but it is only a matter of time until your average joe or IT illiterate simpleton catches on too. And lets face it. IT illiterate simpletons are the biggest money makers for adsense revenue. Considering the ever growing popularity of chrome and how ridiculously easy the ad blocker is to install, even a dyslexic baboon with saucepans for arms could install it.

What do you other webmasters do to try to combat people using adblockers and save your revenues? Do you see this becoming a real issue for webmasters relying on these types of ads in the future?
