Comment Re:What if I want the ad fueled web to die? (Score 1) 618

Even though I don't block ads personally, I think I understand where he's coming from. Basically, he thinks he's not affected by advertising, so showing him ads is a waste of the publisher's/advertiser's money. Indeed, logically if that's true, then it is a waste of resources showing that advert to him, and obviously it's bad for him too, so lose-lose.

Indeed it could be argued that only 'less techie' people respond to ads, and that 'intelligent' people aren't vulnerable to them. I don't 100% agree with that notion, though I can sympathize with those who think that way.

I think that if this is valid, the correct theory will follow soon enough anyway, but in principle, why must we know how something works before letting it benefit humanity? Did the early caveman have a deep understanding of fire when they were roasting their woolly mammoth cuisine?
