| Paying for Ads
Since web pages are filled with ads these days, and since you never know what you're getting from any particular page until you get there (unless it's a previously visited page), and since many/most web pages nowadays are anywhere between 5% and 95% commercial advertisements (with little or no 'content')...
It doesn't feel right having to pay to view unexpected, unanticipated, and unsolicited ads. And it doubly doesn't feel right paying for ads that are only there so you aren't supposed to have to pay for something anyway (the ads are already paying for that page to be available/viewed). What if they started charging us for every hour of broadcast TV watched (where commercials are already paying for the broadcast)? Amounts to the same thing, where the guy in the middle is charging both directions for one service.
So, unless there's a way to make ads NOT count against usage statistics and your personal cap, or until random, unanticipated, unsolicited ads cease to exist on web pages, it is probably immoral (if not illegal) to charge someone for being stuck viewing ads all day (however subliminal or glaring/gaudy they may be). |
