I actually don't mind most ads. If you've got a static ad related to the content I'm browsing, it doesn't bother me. I actually might click on it. I feel the same way about ads in newspapers and magazines.
But then there's the increasing minority. The get-in-your-face-as-much-as-possible ads. The interstitial ads. The noisy video play-by-default ads. The scroll-over ads. The ads that follow your mouse down the page. The ads that go as far as they possibly can to disrupt whatever I'm browsing.
No. That's too far. That's why I block ads.
If there was a way to white-list "responsible" ads, I'd do it in a heartbeat. Until then, no, I won't subject myself to that arms race.
