-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Why would ITV want to check we have a valid TV license, the TV license pays for BBC services, I thought the advertising / commercial aspect of ITV paid for those services. Ad blockers are great, esp on sites such as the herald express site (Torquay local newspaper) which loads in all sorts of crap before you can start reading the site. That site gets the full works, it is still pretty poor as a site even then. I have a bigger hatred of auto playing videos and or sound really annoying when you are trying to listen to music and you get a secondary sound source getting in the way, of course added to this is the assumption you are interested in what ever that video is trying to promote. I agree there are some sites that need funding, many of the free software projects are like that, but there are ways to do that. Diaspora has the option for user donations, Free software foundation europe will send you flyers / posters / stickers for a donation (or you can just make a donation). You also get a graphic to put on your website to say you have supported them. There are positives and negatives to advertising, but yes these days faster internet means that these adverts are, or seem to be getting more and more intrusive. In a similar way some of the commercial tv advert slots seem to either be longer or more frequent.
