    Advertisers started this war.

    Pop up ads came before ad blockers.

    Nobody was doing this when it was static banners.

      Oh, I fully agree, the moment we accepted the deal of ads for “free” stuff, it was always going to end this way.

      There will only be a cease-fire when users start paying for what they use again. And even then, now that pandora’s box is open, some will pull a hulu and try to double dip on both ads and a payment.
