Re:Ad Blocks’ Doomsday Scenarios

Ad blockers exist because of obnoxious ads. Pushing obnoxious advertisements onto users is a selfish and anti-social tactic. If your business relies on them as a major source of revenue, you should consider a business model that produces capital on its own merits rather than using your intended audience (and their incidental interests) as a more realistic long-term strategy. Ad blockers will only continue to grow in use.

My biggest pet peeve are the ads that auto-launch the App Store on iOS. Surely this can't be difficult for the ad providers to detect.
I wish Apple would auto-ban apps from the App Store using this method.
