said by Dagda1175:Would you pay a penny or two for every site you look at? Somethings gotta pay the bandwidth bills. Ever surf(online webpages)?
Ever load some page just to see what they have?
Ever load some page to see what they have and get bombarded by ads?
Ever load some page to see what they have and get bombarded by ads but that site is not worth spit?
Ever have malware get on your system that does nothing but display ads for crap you will never want - even with not having a webpage open?
I haven't(protected) but I have cleaned up computers with that crap on them.
So, ads can be pushy.
Ads can be loaded in/by/for malware.
Do you use any malware protection(Windows) or Blacklists(any)?
Uhm, I do!
Care to guess why?
Simple, really. I don't want that crap on my computers!
Ads are ads. Ads can be annoying.
Floating banners suck ass!
Popups blow chunks.
Ever notice what is on them banners and popups?
ADS! Take a wild guess what WE ALL do... block popups!
So, we are all blocking ads.
Even my Mac friends that do not get popups(?), ILLEGAL!
MUST DESTROY ALL NON-AD DISPLAYING MACHINES! SUE! SUE! SUE!
Dumb, huh?

I already pay MY BANDWIDTH bills to ATT, Does CNET pay ATT to send me adds? I think not but you bet they still profit over being able to use ATT's network to send adds over for free. Maybe CNET should PAY MY BANDWIDTH bill if they want to use my ISP's bandwidth to send adds, don't ya think? |

"Would you pay a penny or two for every site you look at? Somethings gotta pay the bandwidth bills"
What do I pay for by paying an internet bill? what is the site owner paying for when he paid his hoisting bill so why do you think we should pay a penny or two?
How do we owe the penny or two? the site owner put the content up to view, perhaps far to many sites are for adds and scam and not about the content.

I will not pay for someone else's site.
I posted my views on this in previous threads.
If you want to put up a website, you assume all responsibility
for it.
Can't pay the bills to run the site? Your problem, not mine.
People are trying to justify the fact that they need ads to
run their site and I say it's the biggest load of hogwash
I've seen in a while. I've already paid for the PC, I pay
for its upkeep, I pay a monthly charge for my internet
connection.
In a previous example, I pay for my phone line, so I totally
go off on telemarketers using the line I pay for to try
to line their own pockets.
A mailbox, I don't pay for, so advertisers pay the post
office to send me mail most of which gets recycled anyway.
And as I told the other poster, at my age, I should be quite
able to decide for myself when and if I need something.
I don't need some ad on a website telling me "You've won
a free Ipod!" Well, if I won a free Ipod then, WHERE IS IT?
Free means free. If I won a free Ipod, or PS3, or whatever,
I want it. I'd probably sell it on Ebay, but I want it.
YOU put the website up, YOU pay for it.
Plain and simple. Don't like it? Pull the plug.
From Dictionary.com:
FREE
11. provided without, or not subject to, a charge or payment: free parking; a free sample.
12. given without consideration of a return or reward: a free offer of legal advice.
So those ads that say "YOU'VE WON A FREE PS3!" are not only
misleading, they are downright deceptive.
When advertisers stop these deceptive practices and stop
trying to line their own pockets by lying, then maybe
I'll unblock their ads and allow them on MY PC.

Dadkins, besides being deceptive, misleading practices. Would not these cited examples also be false advertising?

"You've won
a free Ipod!"
quote:
"YOU'VE WON A FREE PS3!"
F the websites hosting those flashy trashy ads. F the hosts serving up those virus infected/malware ads. F the site owners, who think anyone should have to view sleazy worthless ads.
Since I do not click on any ads, its better to block "em" all.
When surfing the net turns into "road rage", and a clear case of www dot.what-the-F*ck dotcom. It's time to block every ad that comes screaming at one. 
Three cheers and a big salute to, hostfiles and adblocker!
