If the problem is that their time can be measurable in term of ROI (i.e. sales) then you should definitely try to do the same with your tasks.
Implementing a A/B test ? --> Show lead improvment
On-Page optimization ? --> Show CRO evolution
Changing design, implementing new feature ? --> show impact on activation, retention.
And so on.
If you work very hard you can also share a road map to share all the things you tick each week.
In your case it seems you also have more of a human issue. I think to this point you need to prove them how much money you can bring to the company. I wouldnt go for a discussion "just to have a discussion" with them. Its far better if you can prove your added value.
good luck !
It seems most Adblock users are not especially proud of using adblock, nor do they support anti-advertising activism.
I believe they use ad-blocker for practical reasons, not ideological.
On too many sites, the invasion of pop-up windows and heavily animated ad has became an annoyance. Not only a visual one, but also a technical one. When a page loads, code sends a request to an ad server (+ sometimes third-party plug-in) to render the animated ads. Most of the time, these ads are poorly optimized. As a consequence, the computer’s CPU is heavily taxed.
Consumer is always right. If he can't stand ads for practical reasons then it might be the time to re-think how we operate.
