    There are balanced ways to use ads, and a few places use them… but most soon get onto the “maximize income” bandwagon, and turn their site or app into an ad infected cesspool. They don’t get penalized for that, all to the contrary, while advertisers see their ad conversion go down from sites over-infected with ads, so they don’t want to offer deals good enough for those who only show a reasonable amount to survive.

      This is a real problem. Ans they don’t realize it just push people into using adblock, which, in turn, reduce their revenue and push them into more aggressive adds, which push even more people into using adblock…
