"Everybody hates ads"

Wrong.

I don't remember being disturbed by advertisements in the magazines are read, and even in some of the books I read, nor in the print newspapers.

What I hate are advertisements that attack me: vectors for viruses, assault me with noises when I am reading, suddenly block the page I am viewing.

If Web advertisers treated their audience better, I suspect there would be a lot fewer installations of uBlock origin
