@Mattias Bengtsson- No. I can’t stand sports.

@Miles- Good luck with that.

@Vadim P.- I doubt it. Many will attempt that route, and most that do will fail. There’s plenty of growth for online advertising. Plenty of avenues to explore. Unfortunately, online advertisers are just going about it the wrong way.

It doesn’t work, no secret. But you know if everybody keeps saying that, eventually, all ‘free’ services that attempt to rely on advertising will just become paid.

Do you win then? Not exactly.

Yep, adblock is very useful. Same easylist here on konqueror.

That’s the same very reason why I’m gonna quit my job (online advertising). Can’t stand it :/

“Again, I like to watch the major sporting events on television just because of the ads.”

Are you insane?

Typo above: you couldn’t care less about sports, or the televised event.

Saying you could care less is saying that you do care.
