I'm sorry, but if anyone's business depends on ad-revenue, find a better way of making income. The ad-block rates will go up massively.

People are fed up with the crapload of popups, layerads, "you will be redirected to X in Y seconds", and other annoying kinds of advertising... for many websites one HAS to use an ad blocker to make the sites actually fucking usable.

The problem for the ad industry is that they opened the box of pandora and it's WAY too late to get the trust of the users back.
