As a developer, that is sound advice. As a user, it's silly. I don't get to decide which websites use flash and which don't, and technical limitations don't dictate which sites I want to visit.
- axod 17y agoIt works for me. That's why I've never been interested in adblocking software. If a site annoys me, I just don't go there any more. That's why I've hardly ever read any of the nytimes articles that get submitted here. Because they put them behind an irritating signup wall. There's accounts you can find on google but I really can't be bothered. It's not like there's a shortage of websites doing the same thing.
- allenp 17y agoI agree - plenty of sites, why visit one that annoys you - but I will say that with advertising it is becoming less and less the case that the site actually chooses or even knows what ads are showing on their site.
- axod 17y agoWebmasters have a ton of choice there. Even with adsense you can filter out specific ads, change settings to prevent image/flash ads, etc. If the webmaster cares, they can modify it. And they really should know what ads are showing on their own site.
