I currently browse without an adblocker, but I have seriously contemplated using one due to the overt and just downright annoying ads that have become so popular as of late. I despise the animated ads on Blues, but even if I did use a blocker, Blues would be whitelisted since it's one of the very few sites I visit daily. One of the other sites I visit daily has no ads at all...I subscribe to the free site for minor perks, but mainly because I think it's worth my money just as I think Blues is worth a bit of annoyance.

As for toon...you put the site in a public space, not a private space. You want to force ads upon your viewers, by all means go for it. But don't expect the majority of people to give 2 shits about your site if you do.




How will I know limits from lies if I never try?
