What you just worded fits exactly my idea of this crap. I am just wondering what the difference is between spam and ads. Both can be blocked and both are based on the idea that if you post enough, eventually there'll be a fool to click on it. It were advertisements that drove me away from television, because they were there, no blocking allowed. Those ads were payed for twice: once by me, once by the advertiser self. So, all I do with blocking is taking away the sub-atomic small chance of me clicking on it and thus the chance of making money by the advertiser. So f-ing what? The entire advertisment industry is based on assumptions and (false) promises, nothing substantial except for the money being made on some fried air.
I already paid for my internet, so basically it's mine. And when I don't want to see things, I ignore or block them. Let those adertisers find better, less annoying, ways to do their thing or die out.
