I browsed the web for 15 years without an ad blocker because I could care less about harmless banners and text ads. It was a good time.
Then you added tracking cookies that followed me wherever I went.
Then you added sound to your ads.
Then you added video.
Then you added full screen popups, seizure-inducing flashing ads and banners that mimic'ed Windows alerts.
Then you added transparent Facebook "like" buttons over GUI elements.
You created the ad blocker phenomenon, not me.
