It's the content providers fault.
I have no problem with advertising on the internet. I genuinely don't. I recognise that it's an important revenue stream for content generators, and I fully agree with them supporting themselves in this manner. However - there are a load of bad apples spoiling this pie. Sites that are 99% advertising to the point of actually being nearly unnavigable. Sites that throw up a full page advert directly over the stuff that I'm trying to read. Sites with adverts that forcefully redirect me out of a page and into somewhere else (this one REALLY grinds my gears). Sites that force me to watch adverts that are longer than the actual video that I want to watch. Serve adverts by all means, but be responsible about it, don't stop people from doing what they're doing and they won't need to install ad blockers. Simples.
