Re: Ridiculous
The only reason why ads are everywhere, because you and people like you don't want to pay for content and services.
Wrong. The reason why advertising is everywhere is because, on a human psychological level, advertising works. It influences people, against their own will, to make various choices, be they about what soap powder to buy, what politician to vote for, or which football team to support. The fact that it does this against our will and largely on a subconscious level is all the more reason to limit advertising, rather than limit the blocking of advertising. That's not even going into the problems with malicious advertising, as a malware vector, which is a very real problem.
