    Ad companies only have themselves to blame. Way back when pop-ups were common, I found adblockers, and haven’t spent 10 minutes online since without one.

      The ad business has been throwing afs down our faces for years. The business owners allowing ads on their sites allowed shady ad companies to have malware/virus, etc which obviously lost the trust of everyone. The rise of ad blockers caused even more ads because the previous ads were no longer generating as much revenue.

      Now we’re back to having ads everywhere and it’s driving business away. No one likes ads, yet they shovel it by the truck loads.

      They are to blame.
