- ChuckMcM 13y agoThat is true of course. I don't dislike advertising, just like I don't dislike paying for dinner. However I see it as a economic thing, rather than charge money for their articles they charge 'eyeballs' (so that the advertiser picks up the tab) and the better the content the more I'll put up with that (case in point watching things on Hulu where you get forced to watch ads) but at some point the 'cost' of the ads, the in your face pop-ups, the mouse over talking heads, the slide on banner, the pop under or over banner, it costs 'more' than its 'worth' for me to read it. I determined after reading space.com a lot how much ad I was willing to put up with in order to read their content, and rather than pirate it (or subvert their intent) I just stopped viewing it allowing them to spend their server resources on showing ads to people for whom its worth it to get to the content.
