It’s, uh, really not that bad. I rarely notice banner ads and the like. If a particular site gets really egrigious, I leave the site.

Yeah, I never understood why people purposefully visit sites full of ads and then complain that the sites they visit are full of ads. It seems like a pretty simple problem to solve. And yet, even among the tech crowd, people seem to struggle with it constantly.

What you notice is a really subjective argument. I notice ads, even "small" ones; they distract my attention, and annoy me.

I'd wish I had your ability to "rarely notice banner ads", but I don't, so I complain.
