I don't want to see graphical ads with tits (I'm looking at you Evony), ripped bodies, or oral cavities (teeth whitening). All of that stuff is, just like porn, opt in. Its also why I sign new PC users up to Gmail and not Yahoo Mail. Anything else, and especially contextual text ads, is fine by me.
That's why I agree with Google's position.
- pavel_lishin 17y agoI don't care about tits, skin or toofs, but I am incredibly easily distracted, and a single blinking flash ad can totally plummet my concentration.
- Periodic 17y agoI can't have a real conversation at any restaurant that shows sports or the like. I find my eyes wander to the bright and active pictures too often. I usually try to position myself facing away, but it doesn't always work. I blame a huge part of it on not having a TV, so I'm not used to tuning it out. The same thing occurs on the web. I find it very hard to read text if there is something flashing right next to it. For this reason I install NoScript as one of my first add-ons on new systems. It blocks the worst offenders and adds a layer of security to boot. Simply blocking unauthorized scripts is usually good enough for a while, but eventually I'll get to a few pages with non-flash, non-javascript ads that are so annoying I go out and install AdBlock anyway. I'm happy to meet in the middle, but I don't intend to waste my time.
