I'm with you. Ads are annoying but I sort of wish there was (maybe just more around here?) acknowledgement of that's just how the service gets paid for. I don't adblock anything. If I can't stand the ads I don't use it. I just ignore them. Maybe I'm old and grew up with broadcast tv. I'd rather be subjected to internet ads than have to pay (real currency) at every site I go to. Folks can Adblock all they want but I don't see how that's any better than corpo short term quarterly earning thinking vs long term wide range impacts consideration.
