As I said, adblocking is extremely naive. <a href=http://www.foo.com>foo.com</a> http://www.foo.com>foo.com</a> could be a paid advert for all you know, and the fact it is or isn't is hidden from you, and your adblocker. So I'm afraid the adblockers are firmly at the ultimate losing side. Sure, you can block intrusive flashing in your face advertising, but that's only one small segment of online advertising. (And nowhere near as effective as text links).
Well, the good news, is that you're an extremely tiny minority.
Most people like ads. Many even click on them! Loads even go on to buy products! Using money!!!!
- houseabsolute 17y agoI wouldn't go so far as to say people like ads. They tolerate them and are influenced by them, yes, but like? That's taking it to a bit of an extreme. For my case, even though I'm defending these advertisements, I think they are poison. When possible, I pay to get service that lacks ads. If I could pay Google $100 per year to not show me any Adsense or Adwords ads, for example, I probably would.
