Quote from the article: “Research shows that very few people find advertisements in more established media annoying,”
I wonder where this "research" was conducted. I find any and all advertising annoying, no matter where it is located.
The difference between "more established media" (which I interpret the author to mean print/television) and the web is that the user has little control over being force-fed the advertising.
What they are really upset about is loosing the control to "force feed" users ads against their will.
- mooism2 12y agoPersonally, I find tv and radio ads extremely annoying. But everyone who's experienced it finds my habit of muting the tv during ad breaks to be very strange. So I can easily believe that I am in a small minority on this. On the other hand, I generally don't object to adverts in newspapers and magazines.
