Seizure inducing ads
I recently got a Replay TV unit, which let’s me skip TV commercials, Safari also blocks pop-up ads, but there are still some ads that drive me nuts (aside from spam, of course): The kind that flash like crazy to be seen.
I have made it a policy in fact, that I do not click on such ads.
I do not care what they are for -they might even interest me - but I will not click on them. If I did, the owners would think “Oh! The ad must be working! People are clicking on it!” and create even more of that kind.
Then of course there are people like Jaime, who are not just annoyed by such ads; they can actually cause a seizure for them because they have epilepsy.
So, please stop the annoying flashing ads already! Or at least stop clicking on them.
