Adblocker Software Miss

I recently went to WIRED online to read a few tidbits as is my custom ... stemming from my days at the State Newspaper when I was a print copy subscriber.

I was apalled to have this big nag screen jump in my face entitled "The Thing About Ad Blockers" because I don't run a single ad blocker.
 

I do, however, block adobe flash content at every turn. Also, I have no intention of stopping, nor do I make any apologies.

Now, the concept of revenue generation is not lost on me and I fully understand that need to pay the bills to continue acquiring goods and services, but calling something what it's not is pretty lame ... particularly from an organization I used to feel walked on water like WIRED.

It's a crying shame were I not too old get all whiny.

So now I'm reading of Facebook and their unsuccessful endeavors at stopping ad blocking software ... to my amusement I might add. (sic)

Those moving targets consisting of presentation areas of varying script and graphical elements are ever changing in the context of ad presentation but one thing is a constant:

There are a number of us who are not in love with ads. A subset of those — like me absolutely HATE flash ads, not to mention adobe, foreign call centers, spam, and exploits.

Beware content locations of the world. We're not going anywhere either. So if you're going to get in somebody's face with a nag screen at least get your terms right.
