Good idea. Where do we start this shaming? I don't have the resources.

Cool, let's do this!

That's because there is more room for thumbnails in the right column because there is no ad on top. Weird right :). We have to block more!

It's also just one test, and not hundreds. I just reran it, the result is now the other way around.

Yeah I agree, but I have no idea where to get or even measure any metrics.

It's because there is more room in your browser for loading thumbnails..

Nobody cares, everybody just wants to monetize, while not even knowing which of those requests result in revenue. Just load everything and see what happens!
