basically imo ads break down one of two ways 1) the amount of money that the company makes off me is so marginal (like 0.005 cents per page load or w/e) that i'm effectively meaningless to them 2) the amount of money that the company makes off me is notable (a few dollars here and there) and therefore i should have a say in how i'm going to dispense my valuable attention

Pryor on Fire posted:Remember 10 years ago when ad blocking was considered a wild and dangerous game, hell even downloading something that wasn't IE was considered out there. I remember getting banned from some forum, I think it was arstechnica maybe? for linking to an adblocker in 2005. Those were the days, every ad was in flash and had sound and pegged your bandwidth for 3 seconds. blocking ads was against ars' user agreement is why you got owned. most people would always say "i have ars whitelisted of course" every time they discussed adblock as a cya

HAIL eSATA-n posted:"since people who adblock hate seeing things they would want to have" i turned off adblock on some poorly coded website a while back and suddenly it reloaded and replaced the white background with a gigantic animated colorful ad for fabric softener. as a millennial, i would never buy fabric softener, even if i did want it, which i don't. the ad noticeably slowed down scrolling on the page, which irritated me, and created a powerful enough association that now when i think of fabric softener i remember that ad (don't remember the brand! just the existence of the ad) and become angry, which reinforces my desire to not buy the loving stuff. working as intended?

once browser makers realize its acceptable to poach money from other ad networks, and everything is verticaly integrated due to lax FCC then good thing you can write and compile your own browser! still not seeing a problem here!!!!!!!
