I am anti-ad all the way. You can look at all my sites through and through and you will never seen an ad. I have about 10,000 pages total between all my sites and still not one little box or line asking you to click it. Today though I have had it, I am unbookmarking sites that want to shove advertising down my throat. You can say,”Then you won’t be visiting any sites”. You would be correct unless I create 1,000 more sites and use them as the only content I read. All I have to do is build and write everything and get into a car wreck which hopefully induces Amnesia and then I can rediscover those 1,000 sites and enjoy it with no ads.

Ok sarcasm aside. What the big TV company’s and Youtube is thinking is WRONG. I do not want to watch shows on my computer with ads like regular tv. I left tv a long time ago because of it. If I wanted regular tv I could just get an adapter and hook up cable to my computer. The point is I went to the internet to get away from it. I would rather donate a buck to a site than click on any ads. Would I actually do this? The answer is damn right I would. You build something I enjoy and want to read then I will donate to you. The internet went from being a giant resource to something I am starting to not enjoy, kinda like listening to my tax preparer explain how much I owe the IRS.

This is one of those situations where I love the 15 year olds that upload stuff to bit torrent and newsgroups with everything cut out. To you fine folks that entertain me the way you know I want it, I salute you. To me, those guys and girls doing that are serving their country well. As for you corporate execs wanting to feed me full of your next product, kiss my ass. I go out of my way to not buy from companies that do this like GIECO, Male Enhancement Commercials (although it’s always been slightly interesting), and other companies that are garbage but somehow kick up advertising dollars like the Video Professor. You guys suck and ruin TV for the way it was suppose to be. No wonder so many people would rather game on the XBOX 360 than have watch a sitcom.

Yahoo and the other guys better fix this quick because I know I am not the only one feeling this. Everyone is getting less revenue through these CPC programs because people are tired of it. I refuse to click on anyones ads, not even as a way to “tip” the webmaster. I will see the ad then Google the ad for the natural results. It’s the long way around it but I don’t mind. If the only way you can make money is through this method then shut your website down. You have no business being open. Either offer a merchandise store that I can buy something from because I like you or you have a site that offers reference with ads in the text form away from the content. Be upfront about things. Let me know with a splash page that you really don’t have anything to offer except enough content to allow me to Google your site.

So, where to put ads so you can pay for you server and time? This is easy. Put them in a spot that is not in my face. Don’t plant 15-30 ads in the middle of me laughing so hard that I almost pissed my pants till the ad came on and ruined it. I want to piss my pants. Keeping me from that privilege is wrong. Let people enjoy the internet like they once did, tip the man with great content, and let everyone enjoy pissing there pants from a great clip on Youtube!
