fallback to donation nag (or other CTA) when adblock is enabled #223

Noticed this on the new PublicSource site:

publicsource-w-adblock

Lots of white space when you visit the site with an adblocker disabled.

A common thing to do here would be to fallback to some kind of donation/subscription CTA to a) avoid the whitespace and b) remind people using adblockers that the site relies on reader support in addition to advertising.

I can collect a few examples of this sort of thing out in the wild but wanted to capture this before I forget :)

Great issue! More examples would be really helpful to decide the best approach here.

It might be possible to have "Adblock" as a segment parameter for Campaigns, though. That would give a lot of flexibility for all kinds of CTAs on different parts of the site. Even combining different strategies for first viewers with Adblock vs. common viewers with Adblock, etc.

@miguelpeixe great idea! I added a new issue on the popups plugin and will keep an eye out for examples and add some screengrabs to this issue as I find some good ones.
