I wouldn't mind ads if they behaved themselves. But flashing, jumping, scrolling, etc. make websites unusable. Never figured out why the web host wants to aggravate their visitor. Yes! Alternating blue/yellow lettering really convinced me to buy their product! If not for ad-blockers, much of the web is unusable.
This latest round aren't even ads. There floating parts of the website that have to be closed before you can read the material. The news sites like to force their videos on you. Well I am at work and can't play/listen to a video in an open office environment. I actually want to read and the video player jumps out of it's place and won't go away. I have tried the video blocker, but there are times I do want to see the videos. What is the point of the video jumping out of place and following you around while you try to read?
Or I want to go to a website to buy something and the "how can we help you " box keeps popping up. Or followed a link to read a story and a huge window pops up wanting me to "like" the page or sign up for emails. The only reason I am on Facebook is that's where my 4 wheeling group hangs out. That page is so full of links, it is hard to find a place to put the courser with out information opening up. Then the stuff moves around when a new post appears and before you know it you accidentally sent a friend request to a stranger.
Sorry for getting on a rant.
Let's see, I don't watch TV anymore, the web is getting unusable, maybe have to try video games again.
