Hi I am one of those who block ads. I realize that sites need money, and I would love to buy a membership, but no income means I can not. So, why do I keep blocking ads? The one serve to me right now is a good example of why. It is an ad for a french site about make up. Beside that I am not french, and do not care for make up, the ad is gif, with black, white and pink images changing every quarter of seconds. It makes my eyes twitch, and is giving me an headache. The others ones are non interactive flash ads, which takes up loads of resources for nothing a jpg or gif can't do, and they usually are in a language I don't understand, which gets frustrating. It would be great if you could be more selective about your advertisers - though I know you can't do much for them not doing geolocalization right, to at least prevent ads which are a hazard to more sensitive peoples (it would be even better if advertisers would stop being asses to begin with, but that is just daydreaming), but in the mean time, I will stick with the ad blocker. I like the site skins tough, they are usually unintrusive and static, while being sometimes pretty to look at.
