    Im going to be straight with you—if you dont click one of the ads on this page, were all doomed. Maybe not today or tomorrow or next week; but if all those banners and pop-ups and pop-unders and interstitials and nagging floating ads continue to be ignored, or worse, blocked outright, were every one of us in a mess of trouble. Im talking the entire high-flying media world dropping from the sky like flaming meteors. Like it or not, were all in an economic cold war. However, in this one, were fighting against ourselves.

    There are zero sites that I would micropay to visit. And, I can't stand the over-the-top ads, either. I do hit the contribution links at my favorite blogs. If a site owner would simply put a link in the body of the article or essay and respectfully request that readers click through to visit a sponsor's ad, then that I would do. Hardsell? I'm impossible to hardsell. Look at refdesk dot com as a site that 'gets it'. Running: Firefox with adblock and NoScript. There. are. no. ads.
