The question that I always wonder is, is it really that devastating if people who don't want ads and wouldn't click on them hide them? I can't help but think that the kind of person that uses adblock-like software is also not likely to be the target group for most ads. It's only a tiny minority those who do click on ads after all.
- s73v3r 11y agoI'm sorry, but this argument has never been anything more than entitled bullshit.
- keithpeter 11y agoIs your rejection of the argument based on the value of data generated by the tracking cookies? Is there some other reason behind your response? Just interested.
- s73v3r 11y agoMy rejection of the argument is based on the entitlement of people who make it. "I never would have paid for something, therefore I deserve it for free!"
- keithpeter 11y agoI was hoping that you had some insight into the relative revenue generated by tracking and by clicks on the advert. The tracking I find onerous because of privacy and bandwidth concerns and I imagine will be regulated soon. The click-able adverts I have less objection to as I do not in fact click on adverts on Web pages - mainly because the products advertised are usually laughably irrelevant to my concerns and the subject of the article I am attempting to read (a point made by OP).
