Advertisers/marketers live in their own little world. A world where they think people actually appreciate what they do.
I dunno, I appreciate that Blue has a site he updates twice daily and makes a living off of without me paying a dime for it.

Advertisers also shocked to discover that the sun rises in the East, water is wet, and government officials actually are NOT trustworthy unless you're paying them off!

I'd much rather Blue panhandled on Patreon. He'd probably make more money and then we wouldn't need ads

Even so, how many people here that allow the ads through uBlock ever bother to look at them, or, God forbid, CLICK on them?
I mean, I'll do from time to time just to generate some click-through revenue, but I have literally never bought a single thing because of an ad here. (The Amazon links excepted.)

I use to have customers that would just stare at whatever the computer put in front of them. I will tell them they could skip through it or whatever and they just didn't do it. I always assumed it was from years of TV and having to watch commercials. That was in 2001-2002 or so though. Today I just assume everybody uses ad blockers and such.
