Ask HN: How much would you pay for adblock in real life?

5 points by pirocks ↗ HN
It seems to me that the "killer app" for AR is adblock in real life. I would personally pay about as much as I would for a laptop(so 400 to 2000 usd). Are there startups working in this space?

Well, how much does some nice acreage in the country cost?
Do you refer to tools like noise cancelling earphones? Or something similar for the eyes? Because when it comes to unwanted contact to people, in reality there is a duplex channel: You can talk to annoying peoples, make them stop talking. Or dont you want to look at ads in public space?

This question is really context based. In NYC one might have different problems then on the countryside. I never suffered from ads in the public space because I just ignore them. AdBlock included in the brain...

This is not going to work anyway. After some time advertisiers will find other ways to push crap into our brains, be it imitation of warning signs or some deceptive product placement.
