Why Do You Block Ads?

Posted by Cliff on from the because-they-are-annoying dept.

flyingember asks: "With ad blocking becoming ever more popular among users, why do you block ads? And with what? Do you view internet ads as different from say, TV ads? What about in a magazine? Do you not buy a magazine because it has too many? I'm specifically talking about the ads in a webpage, but even popup blockers can cause problems with me using a site."

    Did you bother to research your claim at all? In particular, I'm thinking of Birds & Blooms and Pennsylvania Magazine.

    Settle down there, bud. Just because I've never heard of your obscure little, low-circulation hobby magazine doesn't mean I didn't do "any research at all." I was talking about widely circulated, mainstream publications. If I can't walk into my local convenience store and pick it up off the shelf, then I don't think it's fair to count it.
