Freedom of speech includes the right to not listen. Just because a website has every right to include ads, so it is your right to avoid them. RR I hope you see my post for what it is. 100% sarcasm man. This is the only site on the web purposefully infused with annoying ads I visit. Others zero zip zilch nada annoying random ads designed around control buttons or with ultra fine margin borders for accidental hits. Even XNXX and Pornhub dont have that schitt delibrately designed into their sites. #designedforrevenue #pleasesupportblossman #disableyouradblocksguysandhelpafellaout LOL!!!!

I get you, r50. But it is a fairly common opinion that blocking ads is somehow wrong because it is perceived to harm the website owner.
It's a false argument. You are not required to shop at every store you pass, or buy everything you see advertised on TV. There's no moral mandate to listen to someone just because he has the right to offer you something

Bringing this up to the top.
Up front, I don't know if advertisers pay for ads sent or actually displayed. I.e., do they get some kind of feedback that someone's computer has an ad blocker installed and even though they sent the ad it doesn't count toward the site's revenue? Various sites will show a popup asking you to disable ad blocker, I assume because they don't get paid unless the ad is actually displayed on the user's screen.
But yeah, I agree with Rocky 100% - they might send us ads but we don't have to be bothered with them.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery.
Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
