Agreed. I have given them the benefit of the doubt. I have turned ad-blockers off on sites that requested it... only to turn it back on moments later because of the constant bombardment and sheer disregard for users and user experience.

Not to mention the rest of the issues (aesthetic destruction, readability issues, performance, security risks, privacy risks, etc)

As far as I'm concerned, any company/publisher/site that wants to use those types of ads can go out of business. I am fine with that consequence of ad-blocking.
