I must disagree. Some ads do introduce me to new things that I am truly interested in.

Other than Ghostery, I guess my ad blocker is myself. If I see anything that resembles an ad, I avert my eyes.

I suppose something subliminal is at work even so, but I imagine there are many more people like who just avoid even donating their eyeballs to an advertisement.

The percentage has unfortunately decreased precipitously with the prevalence of retargeting.
