How about ads that don't do any of this:
* Require me to download megabytes of Javascript and Flash, particularly when I have to pay by the megabyte for my data plan.
* Consume excessive CPU time and reduce my battery life
* Use CSS to hover over the actual text I was trying to read
* Make noise
* Pop-ups
* Pop-unders
* Link to malware
* Link to scams
* Ignore me when I say "DO NOT TRACK"
In other words, show me a modicum of respect. Deliver ads that actually have value for me, rather than treating me like the product you are selling to someone else. Nobody complains about the ads they see on Amazon, largely because Amazon is doing this.
The absolute worst thing you can do is try to defeat the ad blocker I installed. That means you have become my adversary -- in which case I have zero reason to care about your revenue stream.
- eli 13y agoIf you come up with an Ad Blocker that blocks all those things, but lets "good" ads through, I'd pay for a license! :)
