And you are tarring every person who blocks adverts under the same brush - as a leecher.
You are assuming that those who block adverts by default don't contribute to websites in ways that more than makes up for the blocking of adverts - they're "stealing", don't forget.
I've been using the Internet for approximately 8 years. I have never seen a 'nice and useful' advertisement (and yes, I'm including the time before I started using ad-block plugins).
- axod 18y agoYou've never seen a useful advert? What websites do you visit??? Not one of the advert results on google/ms/yahoo has been what you were looking for?
- Jem 18y agoGiven that about 14 hours of my average day is spent on the Internet - because I work with it, not because I have no social life... well, maybe that too - a hell of a lot of websites. And how would I know if one of the adverts were what I was looking for, if I don't click them? I find the organic results always meet the criteria I've searched for. TBH this is getting into a I do this/you do that debate on personal circumstance - not why I entered the discussion. I don't see the point in going 'round in circles all evening. I think we've made it pretty clear where we both stand on the subject.
