Ads. An adequate way to make money, and support a website, but annoying nonetheless. Text ads from Google AdSense and such are fine, as long as they aren’t smeared all over the place.

Flash and Animated GIF ads

These are the worst. Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is going to EVER give a worthless shitfuck about them, yet they’re everywhere. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gone onto a page only to hear “CONGRATULATIONS, YOU’VE BEEN SELECTED TO WIN TWO FREE iPOD NANOS!!!”, especially from 2003-2006. Or one of those gay-ass millionth visitor ones. WHAT THE FUCK. NO WAI. I ALSO HAPPENED TO BE THE MILLIONTH VISITOR LAST WEEK! AHMAHGAD FREE LAPTOP.

Pop-ups

Please, no. They come up when you click on a link, do nothing, or think. They’re still a problem to this day. Everyone who uses the internet has seen one of these at least once.

Conclusion

Use Google AdSense, at least they don’t have annoying ads.
