<i>&gt; not a evil business really, right</i><p>Well I <i>would</i> agree, but <i>ahem</i> popups, popunders, sound, retargeting, tracking, simulated download buttons, simulated anti-virus messages, animations, sound, maximise on rollover, sound (sound there multiple times intentionally :p)<p>Now then, an industry that resorts to every underhand trick they can think of is not doing much to have my sympathy.<p><i>If I could visit a site with ADS, and just ads, without any tracking, retargeting or other trickery I&#x27;d gladly have the ads for that site on permanently.</i>  By the same token I wouldn&#x27;t even mind seeing ads on the sites I actually paid for if they were locally hosted and tracking free.<p><i>&gt; Note in print days, you still pay your subscription, yet you get shit loads of ads</i><p>How many print ads had sound, retargeting, tracking or dropped malware?  Comparing apples and oranges here.<p>Oh no, just to make the internet usable I need to block &gt;50% of the domains a page tries to load.  So to turn on ads I need to figure out which of the 20 blocked domains and 10 blocked scripts will let ads through.  But tracking and retargeting gets enabled when you do that.  Fuck that.<p>Simple ads, no tracking.  It&#x27;s not hard.
