I don't get why people hate online ads so much. They're easy to ignore and rarely if ever become intrusive these days.
For my own part, I don't mind text ads; but animations or movement of any kind completely kill my ability to read. It's just the way I'm wired. I can't focus with movement or animation in close peripheral vision.
I also have no time for pauses or delays. I can't watch TV or listen to the radio at all any more because of ads. I just can't do it; an ad break comes on and I just want to turn the thing off and do something different.
