Re:Data from hundreds of sites shows 23% usage of adblock by DoritosMan on Wednesday August 21, 2013 @09:55AM (#6250258)
If I didn't have to worry about malicious ads, pop up advertisements, video ads that automatically play, and obnoxious ads then I probably wouldn't use AdBlock. But since advertisements are nothing but obnoxious then it makes it hard for me to change my mind...

Yeah, some advertisers actually hurt their own industry with really pushy ads. How mild would the ads need to be for you to be happy to turn off your adblocker? Would you tolerate any ads, even from your favourite site?
