I admit, I'm a big softie, so if they ask me nicely, I will unblock the ads. However, some sites are just so OMFG filled with ads that I refuse to unblock unless they force me to.
How about you ?

(12,132 posts)plenty other sites got what you got. If I get to a totally unique site with content I can't find anywhere else, then maybe I'll do it but so far, nope.

(38,316 posts)I block ads on everything else. That's the only thing that makes clicking on the external links people post here on DU tolerable. I have zero tolerance for noisy moving advertisements, which is one reason I don't watch television at all.
Most of the sites I regularly visit are technical and any advertising they have is highly focused and unobtrusive.
I don't block advertising on wunderground, where I'll occasionally suffer some obnoxious advertising, but mostly I get ads that reflect my browsing of technical sites, or ads for charities like the Salvation Army.
