Yeah, I use ad blockers about 99% of the time. When I do turn it off (briefly), I'm always stunned at just how awful every web site I visit has become.

From intrusive "take over page" ads to insultingly stupid click bait links, they are amazingly obnoxious. Sites like CNN go from just terrible to absolutely intolerable.

I'm frankly surprised that there is not a "decent ad service" that sites can use to have a higher quality of ads. Maybe ads that actually just sell a product and do not include the click-bait, lies and scams that appear to be most ads these days.

Of course this isn't just a problem on the Internet. I'm always shocked at the ads on MSNBC when I forget to hit mute. Full disclosure, MSNBS is just about the only broadcast TV we watch anymore. I'm afraid to think about regular TV ads.

I don't understand how "reputable" sites (and TV channels) put up with the scummiest of bs for ads.
