Why Marketers Should Turn Off Their Ad Blockers

If you call yourself a marketer and still run an ad blocker everywhere, you're sabotaging your own education. In this sharp, short episode, host Harwin makes the contrarian case that every ad you block is a missed lesson. The more ads you see — on YouTube, websites, everywhere — the better you understand what's working right now, what hooks are being tested, and what your competition is doing. Great marketers study ads, and you can't study what you never let yourself see.

He also draws a firm line: yes, you should watch ads — but don't be the website owner who begs visitors with a pathetic "please disable your ad blocker" popup. If someone doesn't want to see ads, let them be. Just make sure you're not that person when it's time to learn.
