I never used adblock until recently when I saw an ad that was giving me an incessant pop up for a game. Basically, it would pop up a new tab every 10 seconds or so. Utterly ridiculous. I believe it was likely Gaia where I saw the ad as I was on my avatar dress up page when it suddenly popped up. Unfortunately, due to the fact I was lagging and hit refresh right as the ad popped up, I didn't get any screen caps to report it.
But since it was annoying the hell out of me, I got adblock just for the sake of that one ad.

I actually don't mind ads until they start being intrusive. I do feel bad because I know Gaia needs the revenue, but when ads start becoming intrusive to that degree, it's time to block them.
This. Popup ads, talking ads, they're both miserable and endlessly irritating. I am listening to music at full blast, I do not need some ad positively screeching in my ears about cursors or whatever spamware they want me to download.
The announcement was actually enough for me to give Gaia another chance, though.
sweatdrop I have noscript installed, so I'm hoping it'll be enough to block the more intrusive ads while still supporting Gaia. Seeing as I've never bought cash ever.
