Online Ads….

First let me say, that I understand that people want money. For content, they create, produce, display, re-produce, stream, and anything else people do with content online. So, having said that, let me be frank.

No.

I think that I would rather use “adblock plus” to block all ads on internet websites, and in Youtube. If i see and add, i can use adblock to configure a blacklist/block for it. So, when I see an ad now, it invigorates me to put an end to it. Through, creating a blacklist/block for it.
You scream, but people need to be paid!!!
Ahh, so true… and let them. I will always follow the free. Once something falls away, something else takes it’s place. It will always be that way, so, if my favorite site closes. then I will wait for the replacement.

The internet is not a place for micro-payments, it’s a place for me to have fun… and ads are no fun.

Not to mention that ads require bandwidth, and if I am on a fixed bandwidth plan then the advertisers are stealing from me.

    As the eventual proprietor of an ad-based revenue engine, I have to hope that you are a singularity. I see your point, but I feel that the ads are a reasonable cost to pay in exchange for good “free” content.

    I think that my online experience is better with Hulu (example) than without it, and Hulu would not exist without ad revenue.
