I think right now the big thing wrong with ad companies is that we have all come to believe they are pathological liars. You can’t trust a word they tell you and whatever it is they are selling, it’s probably a load of shit.

Now if this wasn’t what every new internet user was indoctrinated with and the ad companies actually told the truth with their advertising, things might be different.

Looks perfectly straight to me. Of course, I’m also the type of person who allegedly [ahem! allegedly] agree with everything.

I’m drinking the social media juice as much as anyone. I get paid to think about and work on it all day, every day. (I consider myself lucky…)

But the idea that banner ads should go away is just sort of silly. Around Easter, I want to and expect to see a HoneyBaked Ham ad, and hope it has a $5 off coupon. When I want a new car, I pay attention to the car ads.

It sounds like you object to bad ads (flashing, rolling out over the content, etc.). That is a fair statement. There’s a lot of crap out there and the perpetrators of it should be smacked…

I disagree with the idea that not clicking on banner ads is the best way to make them go away. That would only work if everyone banded together and agreed to do so.

The fact is the banner ads are a good deal for the advertisers since so few people click on them. If you want to ads to go away, start clicking on every one you see. Since the click through rate for ads is far less than 1%, if only a small percentage of people actually started doing it, then the banner ad economy would have to change significantly.
