A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Personally, I don't mind when ads are reasonable for a website or service I'm getting for free. I think people should get paid for the service they are providing. The problem is it always eventually gets out of control and at that point, yeah I'm going to block your ads.
I was on a website earlier today and 80% of the screen was ads. Sorry, you're getting added to my block list.
Just never go to a website like that again if you have the choice. Seeing a drop in visitors and ad revenue after making the decision to pepper the entire screen with ads is the only thing that will cause the webmaster to reverse that decision.
Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time.. a long time
Nowadays we call him spider-man
