People who block Google ads don't make too much sense to me. I agree with what you said: they're text-based, oftentimes they're relevant, and they don't get in

- vaksel 18y agoall advertising is bad advertising. I don't want to be distracted by an ad. I don't want to be tricked into hitting an ad link by mistake. And I don't want to see numerous ads(that usually have NOTHING to do with anything I'm looking for. + adblock doesn't seem to block search results ads, and imho thats where most people click ads anyways.
- unalone 18y agoIf the owner of the website uses advertisements to keep his site afloat, that's a noble cause. It's not as noble as making a profit more actively, but for personal and casual sites advertisement is a good thing. And Google Ads tries to give readers ads that they actually will care about.
- vaksel 18y agothe people who block advertisements won't be clicking them anyways, so the person loses nothing. As far as Google contextual ads? They are useless in 99% of the time...just because I'm looking at a blog post describing a new TV, doesn't mean I want to buy it, from the first person who tells me they have it for sale. If the site owner wants to make it a noble cause, then he should just throw some affiliate links to the item he discusses.
