German news site Horizont, has reported the mega-corp Google has been paying Eyeo, the company responsible for Adblock Plus, to whitelist the company's advertisements. Both Google and Eyeo have offered rational explanations for the actions, but it still comes down to profit and the bottom line for both companies. "Managing this list requires significant effort on our side and this task cannot be completely taken over by volunteers," the FAQ says. "That's why we are being paid by some larger properties that serve nonintrusive advertisements."
