Most ads I see (admittedly there are few when running a computer on Linux with ad blocker) are trash promos for trash products that I can’t imagine anyone would want, much less run out and buy after seeing such an intrusion on what they were trying to do. And that is the thing all advertisers need to ask themselves; are my ads getting through and selling product? Most likely the answer is “no; they are annoying people and driving away potential customers”. The so-called ‘targeted’ ads are the worst offenders of all – I’ve yet to see one ‘aimed’ at me that actually was about anything I’m interested in.
For now, turn off all the ads any way you can. Maybe eventually the sellers will figure out that they’re doing it all wrong. But don’t hold your breath waiting for that to happen.
