I was perfectly fine with having header/footer/banner ads and left my adblocker off, unfortunately almost all advertisements have become so obnoxiously placed and irritating. If they weren’t so greedy, I feel like most people would have been okay with it.
I’m okay with my physical newspaper running ads too but not putting super intrusive ones or the ones that are disguised as actual reporting.
I was ok with some ads also, and still would be. What grinds my gears is the tracking… I don’t want the tracking.
Very true but the reason for all this tracking is the advent of personalized advertising.
Exactly. All the ads that cover the content, have X’s that you can barely hit without clicking the ad, have autoplay videos, and that kind of thing just made it unlivable.
Exactly. It makes me wonder why no one has tried a more ethical advertising model. It seems to be either intrusive ads or paying a subscription.
