So did blocking.

- for billboards, there’s the visor

- for TV ads, there’s the mute button, or time shifting/ad skipping

- newspaper ads don’t move around, so it’s easy to spot and tune them out.

And yet they're effective. Many people like looking at ads. I also don't mind ads, I just mind that on many pages they slow down my computer, let content jump all over the place and make it hard to use the website at all.
