No because I'm too lazy, and I don't mind banners. It's how sites make their revenue. Also there are basically no real popups anymore. Unless you're looking at porn, you dirty dirty bastards.
No way. It doesn't cost me anything to take two seconds to look at an ad. When I do that, free sites make money and we all win. Pop-ups suck, but like @Wolverine said, no one really uses them. Except... Nevermind. No one uses them.
Yeah, Ad-Block Plus. I only leave ads on websites where the ads are actually relevant to the content of the website or if it's stuff that I'm interested - like the New York Times, or Giant Bomb. You get sites like 1UP that have the generic ads by Google and whatever giant online ad company, like ads for Evony and other BS. No, I would not like a new wallpaper. No, I would not like a new screensaver. No, I would not like to download your zip file of smilies that also contains a bunch of malware. It just makes the sites look bad. I'd rather see a donate button than an ad.
It reminds me of the telephone marketing gags in Seinfeld.
Marketer: Would you like a subscription to X Magazine? Jerry: Oh, I was actually on the way out right now. Why don't you give me your phone number, and I'll call you back later? Marketer: I can't do that. Jerry: I guess you don't like people ringing you up at home. Marketer: No. Jerry: Well, now you know how I feel. *slams down phone*
Well I've recently had to move to satellite internet, so I've got a flash-blocker and an ad-blocker. Got to cut away all the unnecessary bandwidth. Got to keep room for the porn.
