These people killed the golden goose. Pop-ups, talking ads, ad traps, and so on. A REASONABLE number of them are tolerable. People gotta eat :), and, I’m very aware that good stuff is not free. I have a DVR but very often I DO watch interesting or funny ads, sometimes more than once if they are really good. It can be done with some creative effort.
And, the faster internet is just barely keeping pace with these bandwidth-sucks. There are sites I’m on that politely ask that you turn ad-blocker off, and those sites have a reasonable number of ads, some of which are actually of interest to me.
Exactly.
My 1st gen. iPad is practically unusable to surf with because of the newer animated, automatic play ads.
Chokes the iPad.
Sites that have videos in the sidebar that start automatically are hateful too.
