That's because web ads track you, can inject malicious code, and are obtrusive.

As I said elsewhere in the thread, a lot fewer people would be using ad blockers in browsers if web ads were as simple as podcast ads (the equivalent would be unobtrusive static images with links).

If you bought a DVR and recorded a TV show would you want the one with the commercial break skipper feature?
