Yes, the annoying ad tactics are lame, I will concede - but you must realize: it is because we are all too cheap to spend any money on the web... hell, they can't even make the money off ad rev. anymore (exceptions like google aside)... the whole damn system is falling apart at the seams if you ask me... but that's another story (which I am betting will unfold rapidly over the coming months... but i digress).
Pay up or shut up.
