Ads aren't what cause me to avoid distractions. However there are many sites which would be on my no-visit list due to ads, honestly, google probably being one of them. I rarely see google results without ads, and when I do I am shocked by how hard they are to avoid. Even that small dark patern of having an icon, and replacing it with "ad" is so fucking evil. Long story short, ads are a plague. I hope everyone installs adblockers and the entire ad industry collapses in favor of something hopefully a lot better. I heard in a city in south america ALL advertisements outside were banned. You were permitted a name + logo for your business, but that's it. Turns out advertising got much more interesting and opt-in rather than forced upon you.
