The analogy breaks down a little bit because you aren't just shopping, you are getting the product, and the price of that product is listening to the salesperson. So the situation is probably closer to sitting through a timeshare presentation to get something free, although online you are not forced to pay attention to the ad for any amount of time.
- jscheel 11y agoFair enough. It seems that most timeshare deals have figured out the balance of pitch to product though. The internet, however, is filled with hack jobs that make your page take 11 seconds to load. It's like the timeshare guy that keeps grabbing your shirt when he wants your attention.

We could have open blacklists or JSON content-blocking rules for different ad/content categories, including business models. Blocking extensions could optionally notify sites of tagged categories which are whitelisted.
