death to advertising (Score 1)

...and I don't care of the fallout. If things I enjoy die from being starved off, let them find a newer less objectionable way to stay afloat. I've long known about adblock and other similar filters but haven't cared much (generally I just ignore all advertisements) but haven't kept them installed long term. Upon seeing this article I realized I'm not doing as much as I could be doing -- adblock plus is now installed and it will stay installed. Maybe if advertisers had worked harder to limit the use of blink, audio, heavy formats like flash and java, or just that advertisements bog down page loads we wouldn't be so at war with them (maybe more text based like google, which is acceptably non-intrusive). I don't want to punch the monkey, eff free ipods, and I don't think supermodels lounging in swimwear is a realistic portrayal of online dating.
