| 1408025 | 2015-09-07 22:31:00 | Undestood but IMHO website designers need to reign it in a bit. Some youtube videos are so buried under banners you can barely see the video and then they hide the close buttons. It can take half a music video and a couple of accidental mis-clicks on adds to clear all the junk out of the way. Other websites have huge animated adds all over the screen that are larger than the actual content. If the content is so buried under adds as to make it annoying to get to no one will visit the website so there will be no add revenue. There needs to be a balance. The reason add blockers are so popular is because advertisers are far too obtrusive. Don't even get me start on those A$$es that put big green download buttons for unwanted software all over a page while hiding the actual download link you're after in small text somewhere else. |
