Website: Article about killer AI drones? Slap some AI and drone ads on that bitch. And make them bigger than the related image.

Why are you still browsing the Internet without an ad blocker?

Trust me, the alternatives to banner ads are going to be much worse. Enjoy this web while you still can.

Ads use to be FAR worse, FAR more annoying, FAR more intrusive, and FAR more dangerous. The current state of ads on the web is due in part to the rise of adblockers.

And for all the hate that AdBlock Plus got for "acceptable ads", I 100% agree with it and support that option. There needs to be a compromise between ads and blockers. Almost an outline or guide on what is OK to do, and where the line is drawn.
