Is actually very easy to solve. When someone wants to run an ad on your ad network. The vetting process should be more than "how much money you got?" If not for their own sakes anyway.
Ad block needs to continue to run rampant over this "internet economy" because advertisers need to come to terms with the fact that now a days users get to choose what they see and how they see it. Maybe one day it will occur to someone in the industry that aggressively hostile ads are ruining their industry rather than being a staple of it.
If they don't... Then I don't mind seeing that industry die.
- juliangregorian 12y agoIt's not easy, because there isn't really much of a vetting process on most ad networks; everything possible is automated. You may not mind seeing that industry die, but until you start paying for visiting websites, you'll have to amend that to say "I don't mind seeing the internet die".

- GhotiFish 12y ago"The internet die" huh. I think you'll find in the absence of one solution, another presents itself. As an example, github is not an ad based service, nor is it some sorta bait and switch. It's terms are reasonable and is generally useful to everyone. That is ridiculously dramatic to say "The internet will die" It's just the shitty part that will die.
