Now Instead of just clicking WoWMatrix I have to invest a few minutes every day hunting for updates. And thats a lot coming from one-click-heaven! So I threw away a lot of smaller not-so-importand addons and thats even less businessoportunity for everybody. Meaning you!
With your move everybody loses. Just sayin you should have an equal alternative...

From a few different responses of mine in various places:
1.
On WoWInterface (I don't know about Curse, but I'm sure it's something similar), when you go to the download page of an AddOn you use and like, you can click on the little heart underneath the big download button. That adds it to your favourites list. Now every time you visit the site, you will see a notice on the front page (Community tab) saying whether any of your favourites have been updated. As well, there is a link on the top bar of the site that says "favourites", that you can click at any time to go look at your list.
To get email notifications of updates of your favourites, do this:
If you are on your Favourites list page you will see a little menu on the left, or if you are on any other page on the site you can click on "Options" on the top bar. Either one of those places you will see:
AddOn Options
Manage Favorites
Email Feeds
Preferences
Download History
Click on "Preferences". You will then see this:
Download Preferences
My Favorites Options
Email Notification:
Enable this feature to recive email notification when one of your favorites has been updated.
yes no
Just check "yes" and any time any AddOn on your favourites list is updated, it will send out an email notification that it has been updated and give you a direct link to the download page for that AddOn.

No having to waste time "hunting" for updates.
2. As for the fact you use ad-blocker, that's not the way ads work. Whether you see them or not, they still get 'served' as far as the advertisers are concerned, so we still get paid. By using WowMatrix, those ads don't get served, so we don't get paid, yet we are still having to pay for the bandwidth.
