[Razgriz]

the ads are still annoying and it takes longer to load with the ads not blocked

That's the only reason I installed adblock in the first place. It often takes 10 times as long for the ads to load as the actual page. Surfing is much much faster with adblock on.

I blocked the dynamic.anandtech.com servers in my hosts file because they'd often severely delay page loads, or else cause a page to completely time out.

you're telling people to be thoughtful and unblock the ad's so Anand can make a bit of pocket change? lol. Good luck, this is AT, not only will people continute to block ad's, but I bet a lot feel they deserve to get paid to post on here because they're so important.

I've never blocked an ad anywhere I frequent, call me stupid but I actually want to help Anand make a little cash off impressions.

I'll gladly help Anand finish his home theater if he would stop using obnoxious ads. Text ads or non-animated SFW ads that don't take up a lot of the screen would probably be enough.

I might be remembering wrong thinking I wanted this to happen and it not actually happening, but when the gold site ads came up that was pretty great though.

Meh, I have adblock disabled on all sites, even my own.

 

[xcript]

No.
