Popup Ads

[danadak]

Is it really necessary to popup the same ad over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over
and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over

during a single session on the site ?

Should internet users start charging ad originators for their internet costs,
their individual time spent showing screens that are totally irrelevant to them,
no matter how good the originator thinks their algorithms are.....? Wear and
tear on their PC ?

Interesting thread in that the method of prevention is for the target, in this case
the victim, to find defensive measures.

I liken it to me tying up the CEO and standing an inch away from their face
and simply repeating -

buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me
buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me buy me

Seems incredibly aggressive and outright rude, at least the way I was brought up.

So a simple compromise is, on a connection basis, one push ad is foisted on participant,
to help cover costs and salaries and maintenance, and it stops until participant logs out then
back in, or simply one / day max....I am flexible Fair is fair.....?

Any takers ?

I understand in EU aggressive TV ads and overall aggressive push ads are much less than here
in US, can anyone comment on that, and if true why US so aggressive ?

I don't know why they cannot put the ads in the sidebar if they must have them, rather than using obnoxious popups..
I doubt anyone would care enough then to bother with blocking them, they would not be obstructing wanted content.

I just use duckduckgo browser and don't get any ads

I'm guessing they are paid by the view, not by the unique user view.

In my Samsung J6 mobile phone lately, ads do cover the whole screen from time to time.

Is there any way to make the ad show once on a normal browser?

Short answer is a big YES

 

[ZipZapOuch]

Short answer is a big YES

Let me restate my question - is there any MOTIVATION to show the ad only once?

Not an expert but do folks call it quits on a site with too many ads ? I know
I have left aggressive sites. Its offensive to have someone in your face for
extended periods of time using your funded services, internet charges, to
do you. I have seen web pages so loaded with ads content of interest is
squeezed almost out of existence. Its an attitude that needs to be reckoned
with. Like worker pay who create the majority of the wealth in a society.
Whole other topic, but strongly related.

Yes. I no longer use certain news sites because of the clickbait ads in the margins - and they are not even pop-ups.
