  1. Ads are actually *good* for the economy on Banner Ads Could Soon Be Bigger · · Score: 1
    I don't understand your viewpoint.

    Advertisement is the basis of the American economy. Why? because they link the consumer to the producer:
    Corporations need to motivate people to buy their products. People need to find the companies that make the products that they need. Advertisements are the way for the companies and customers to find each other. Without ads there would be no free market, only big monopolies could survive.

    Capitalism requires product awareness in consumers to work at all. How can you promote ad removal software such as this? Don't you see that it threathens the very principles our modern society is based on?

    I think the new ad sizes are a good thing. They will allow companies to promote their products better, and give consumers more information about the products. The only downside could be slower download times, decreasing the popularity of a site. But most of us have broadband by now.
