Dry those eyes, ad blockers are unlikely to kill the internet

Re: People who use adblockers...

Yes agree with this.

A large proportion of web ads are poor (possibly as they are so cheap to produce compared to TV ads). There are many risks with malware as you have no way of trusting the source (even trusting the advertising agency). The ads are too intrusive and poorly placed.

However a large number of people visit exhibitions and conferences each year specifically to be marketed and advertised to on all the stalls in the exhibition centre. They or their company actually pays (at least in expenses) to go there. Many of these people will also be using ad blockers.
