I've seen a few videos where they talk about ads, and the ads are getting worse because we are blocking ads, but we are blocking ads because they are annoying. But the worse ads are because they have to either increase the number or take ads that are more shady, but those blocking those ads won't see the ads... But the people still viewing the ads will get annoyed depending on the stupid crap they are doing to get the ads viewed.
I don't get it... Ads done right are fine, however I've seen ads thrown in where it totally screws with everything. Banner ads are fine (top and bottom and maybe a middle one) long and thin. However huge ads, a third of the screen or two thirds (both sides) flashing ads, ads using flash (they are different) and tons of others just don't work well. I especially hate ads that force you to sit there 5+ seconds unable to move to the 'actual' page until you've seen the ad, especially since I can't see the ad so I just see the 'next button is greyed out for a bit...'. This includes Youtube or Twitch.tv Ads where they force you to watch ads in SUPER DUPER HIGH DEFINITION VIDEO AND SCREW IF YOU HAPPEN TO HAVE A LIMITED DATA PLAN!!! ads.
