We, the general people (slashdot readers, web browsers, content readers) are NOT these peoples customers.
We're the target audience for their customers.
They owe us nothing, they think nothing of us, they have ZERO loyalty towards, they could give a shit if we don't like their advertising. It works on at least a small amount of people right now, much to my disdain, much like SPAM emails.
Same concept, as long as there's some jackass out there willing to click and buy whatever's put forth in front of him, this form of advertising will still be around. They're going to find a way to get past popup and adblocking, just give them time.
It's not a conspiracy, it's business.
