Yes, we all want unobtrusive ads, but the problem with unobtrusive ads is that they not call your attention, so there are less chances of seeing them... For me the best solution is to pay for the service you want, that's the best way to asure quality and independence.


I don't want unobtrosive ads, I want no ads at all, which is why I block them all.

And there is nothing wrong that. Companies that rely on ad-views aren't entitled to anything and its perfectly fine for me if they go the way of the Dodo (including e.g. Google).

It's perfectly normal and reasonable to choose for yourself what you want to watch and listen to.


I on the other hand am fine with some ads, as long as they are not annoying or don't track me.

I am willing to deal with ads which don't do that in exchange for consuming more content and supporting the sites I visit often. Which is why I actually am ok with the acceptable ads setting, which allows me do block most ads except the annoying ones without any major tinkering or extra effort on my part.
