Re: Oh Boy, ads are now here
I have never used an adblocker... because I believe sites I visit that I am not paying for deserve to get advertising revenue
My apologies to all those sites - because I have now installed the Firefox extension AdBlockPlus
ByeBye annoying right bar nasty ads
I also called ClearSky for a quote - I can't get higher speed with DSL - too far from the CO.... I would be more than willing to pay the current $35 per month for the highest DSL speeds. So, I know ClearSky will be higher... it just depends on preceived value for the increased cost
So, instead of adding revenue to the AT&T coffers the ad business may have just pushed me to another provider
BTW, if you are using Firefox I highly recommend the AdBlockPlus extension. It won't do anything with the left bar ads - but those aren't as objectionable
And to the silly analogy of newspaper ads... yep thats one of the reasons I don't get a newspaper - not to mention the fact the news is already stale by the time it reaches me. |
