Advertising

There are these problems I have with advertising on the internet anymore.  It used to be everyone against Pop-ups, but the Pop-up blockers have gotten much better and so advertising is no longer by Pop-ups but in-browser Pop-ups.  Which is really quite more annoying.  Personally I could always deal with out of browser Pop-ups, a little troublesome, but not getting in the way when I am trying to look something up and an extra minute is added as the screen darkens and it takes a minute for the in-browser pop-up to load.  That is annoying.

Also, in text browsers, when you have the double lines or the dotted lines underneath words for advertising.  What?!  I really hate that because I prefer the Wikipedia style, having words linked to a source for researching into the word.  So that is what I do, I have tried linking a lot of the various words in the past, to let any of the readers look into it.  It was only Common Sense, I thought?!  But maybe the readers expect for it to be advertising links, so here is a very clear thing, I never will purposefully put that type of advertising on this website.  I am more cool then Yahoo.

The second type of advertising I am starting to hate, the side menu advertising.  Now, I do rather like the Google Adsense.  And eventually I will get it, when I feel like I am actually posting something worth getting paid for, or have enough useful things to get paid for.  But the advertisements on the side that start playing music or something…. what?!  This mostly occurs when I am looking up lyrics to a song that I am playing, I want to see what is actually being sung because I will admit I usually cannot tell what is being said.  But, then something on the browser starts playing in the advertisements.  WHAT IS EVEN THE POINT?!

I think Youtube, as bad as Youtube is, has the most sensible advertisements.  They are still rather annoying, since it mostly is playing the same advertisements over and over again, but they put them into the videos.  That is how TV has been.  Though, Youtube will run into the same problem as Television… too much advertising still.  They want more money from it so put even more advertisements up so it becomes a burden.  No longer following the Economics approach of what would be the proper small percentage of the content that is advertising to make money but not be worried about making millions of dollars in money.  Really, please, think.
