Web Ads Test Users' Patience

from the big-surprise-there dept

Business models that depend on annoying people are simply not business models that have a long lifespan. Hopefully, online advertisers are starting to realize that. A new study has come out saying that people are very quickly getting fed up with online ads, and many don't find any part of them relevent. If anything, they just get in the way of what they went online to do. This is, of course, what plenty of people have been saying for years, but now that "official studies" are coming out, maybe some online advertisers will begin to get the picture.

    I am so sick of the internet becoming a marketing cesspool.
