>but I also wonder if the average visitor is really that bothered by it. Maybe.. Another example is that I really don't understand how anyone reads web pages without an adblocker and yet I see it all the time. Accept cookies, sign up for newsletter, half pages being covered by "you have 2 articles left this month", banner ads that take over the page etc. It would drive me mad. I remember once when I went home and was watching TV with my mother and the ads came on (with a big increase in volume) and automatically clicked the mute button. After several times doing this, she said "What are you doing? am I supposed to sit here in silence waiting for the show to come back". So you might be right... sigh
