Is there a way to get around this?
Viewing a website, then a 'this site is brought to you by...' ad pops up, and you have to wait a few secs to click the 'skip this ad' link to view the original page once again.

The ad blocker works nicely--thank you.
Also, for anybody who is interested in learning how to disable Windows' annoying auto-play feature when a CD/DVD is inserted into the drive go here--> http://www.annoyances.org/exec/show/article03-018
I mention it simply because I just disabled that feature.
Remember kids, if everyone blocked every ad on every site you wouldn't have many sites to visit.

Even the majority of web ads you see (or don't see) are context-sensitive, which is far less "mass" than the old-school. I block a lot of web ads too, but let's not go down the rabbit hole of blaming marketers for harassing us and corporations for gouging us, and just admit that we're exploiting the system. Ad revenue has proven to be the best (perhaps only) sustainable economic model for the web, and even with a .1% conversion rate they're still doing better than they would be sending out junk mail or farming out telemarketing to a call centre. The amount of click-through may be miniscule, but there are millions of eyes on them and they cost peanuts to run. If you block web ads, you are most likely not their target market anyway. Until I see companies like Google going out of business, I'm going to assume that they're pretty smart. Not to mention that statistically, TV ads still bring in the most revenue, and those are pure mass marketing. And don't say you can't block those, because you could just get Tivo, or put together an HTPC and download the eps. |
