i just think that some methods of delivering advertising are fucking annoying

some times its like a popup advert fucked a banner ad and its bastard children are appearing all over the internet

who doesn't love this kind of banner

Those ads jump in front of your mouse and cause you to visit their site when you're trying to click something else on the site. It's like a rabbit jumping on the train tracks except it fucking derails the train.

NG's sanity>Ad revenue
I use AdBlock so my brain isn't filled with useless crap, and to decrease bandwidth. If you want to support NG but hate ads, just use an Ad-hider instead.

I don't watch commericals, I get to the movie a little late so I don't have to watch most of the previews or the ads before the previews, I don't ever look at internet ads. You could call me a rebel.

Popups are fundamentally advertisements coming into unwanted spaces, so I think the next logical step for popup evolution is to become three dimensional. Wait, that reminds me of an ATHF episode.

I fucking hate those video ads that hijack my video/game. I will only be turned off of your shitty products in the future, and I'll likely just dislike the video/vote 0 and leave.

I don't mind the little banner ads on the side, for fucks sake who ever thought it was okay for 30 SECOND ADVERTISEMENTS BEFORE A FUCKING VIDEO/GAME? Why are people okay with this? It's obnoxious!

I currently have an ad which is a still jpeg, or maybe it's a png, whatever- this is fine...

perhaps whoever made this can explain it better.

Google can go to hell for ruining Youtube. Also, ads on television aren't as annoying anymore since they just try to be funny (instead of actually advertising their product).

I love the talking ads more. The ones that make your ears bleed every time you open a page or scroll over the ad.

I dont understand whats wrong with an ad. Thats how websites like newgrounds get paid. Besides, advertising is the only way to get the public to buy your useless shit.

It really depends on my mood, and how competent my computer wishes to load information.


You do not make examples, you make excuses; you do not solve problems, you shift problems; you do not stand behind your statements, you stand behind your stasis.

Those ads that try so hard to be funny are way more annoying. I find it soothing when there's a car ad that actually tries to advertise the car rather than doing some idiotic irrelevant skit.

Yea, most are generally pretty bad, especially when they attempt an Internet joke. It's still better than a boring-ass one or some person talking. Or, even worse, the low budget local area ones. Small businesses and such.
