serving advertisements is unethical. i never consented to being attacked and constantly distracted by an endless ocean of ads, and yet that's what happens. there is no ad that is good. furthermore, advertisers do not have my interests at heart, and i do not want any of them to have even a single shred of information regarding my habits or qualities because it implies having power over me.
until ads become opt in, i will opt out of 100% of ads wherever possible. i'll also always run Ad Nauseum and try to ruin advertiser's profit margins and quality of information wherever legally possible and within my means and convenience.
if i'm "forced" to see an ad, i can always use a different product or service instead. or i could simply do without altogether instead -- like with TV.
just to drive this point home, i want to make it clear that i'm putting my money where my mouth is. i refuse to invest in companies that use ad-based revenue as their business model or develops ad tech for others to use. and i'm not alone.
in fact, i don't know any people in tech -- or outside of tech -- who don't try to block ads as often as they can.
