Sara Fischer had a surprising article over on Axios.com:
People really don’t like pop-up ads, pre-roll
“What?” I asked myself. People don’t like pop-up ads and pre-rolls? Bullshit. Dismissive of this headline, I read the article.
Sara Fischer claims that Morning Consult did research, and discovered that surveys show that seventy-two percent of U.S. adults don’t like pop-up ads.
It’s more fake news, I suspect.
I don’t know anyone who dislikes pop-up ads. I love them, myself. Pop-up ads are technology’s way of saying, “Hey, relax. Take a break.” They stop me from getting too involved in stories by preventing me from immediately reading the articles, clicking on links, and searching for more information to vet the story.
Pop-up ads are a blessing, and should be embraced as such. Just think of how much more shit you could be reading and doing on the web, were it not for pop-up ads saving you.

Can’t tell you how many sites I’ve left and never returned to because of annoying ads. If I want what you’re selling, I’ll Google it.

I don’t like them, but I don’t use a “blocker” either. I ignore. BUT if the ad covers the screen and I am unable to see what I came to see… THEN I leave and don’t look back.

Yes, I let my fingers do my walking. Say, that could be an advertising slogan.
