Yeah, that sounds really good. I was recently reminded that adverts:

* That aren't incredibly offensive
* That aren't incredibly intrusive
* That don't actively hinder my seeing whatever it is I'm trying to see
* That aren't deceptive
* That are for a product I might someday, ever, under some circumstances, care about in any way whatsoever
* That provide some, any, information about the product (for some products "I exist" is enough, for others, not)
* That aren't repeated so often they start to make me foam at the mouth.

I actually quite enjoy. Eg. Adverts for other webcomics on webcomic homepages, adverts for books, etc. It's just that almost all adverts I see seem to fail _most_ of the above criteria.

Aye, I can remember in days per-ad-block, I did used to click on the occasional banner ad if it looked interesting. But then I was just driven to ad-block, out of sheer bloody irritation. Particularly the porn ads that appear on some image-hosts.
