| IMHO most people don't want ads or don't care for them... I think it's pretty logical to say that if so many people want to get rid of ads then they're not interested in seeing them anyway and the ads don't work ANYWAY. In my example - in particular the annoying Flash ads - have the opposite effect: I would not click on such and make a mental not what was advertised to make sure I avoid it. Also, before AdBlock I often stopped visiting certain sites or just closed a window being annoyed by ads. Now, I can actually READ stuff without getting distracted. I think we are oversaturated with ads (and products and services) to the point we either ignore them or actively avoid them. And these idiots are looking for even more ways to send ads our ways (in-game adds, etc). Get real: most people don't want ads or don't care for them.
