2008-08-10 AdBlock Plus Ethics

I spend a lot of time on EN World. I even paid USD 40 for a membership of many years. They use old school banner ads. In a way I’m interested in exactly the ads they show: {RPG stuff. That’s why I’m not blocking all the ads. But I am determined to ruthlessly eliminate all the epileptic seizure inducing blinking animated nervous slideshow banner ads. I don’t mind nice colors, interesting glimpses – but I hate movement in my peripheral field of vision while I’m trying to read.

I think you can make all the animated gifs go through their sequence only once (or disable animation altogether). Things are harder with flash – I guess blocking all flash banners in this case gives a good partial solution.

Then again, putting up banners when they already get paid is a little... not nice.
