I know I’ve ranted about this before, but internet
advertising is really getting on my nerves again. Surfing the net is like visiting
a historic building or something else you’re interested in, and being constantly
distracted and irritated by countless grubby hands pushing things into your
face, and countless insistent voices yelling aggressively into your ear ‘you want some of this, you do, you do, you
do, buy it, buy it, buy it, NOW!’
Is there no way we can put a stop to it because it’s driving
me up the bloody wall? It’s far worse than junk mail, which is easy to ignore.
Junk mail is simply lines of static text that can be deleted with a couple of
clicks. And yet we’re all united in regarding spam as the scourge of the internet,
whilst the greater scourge seems to go unnoticed. Why? Because advertising pays
for much of the internet.
Fine. I understand that. So keep the advertising, but for heaven’s sake make it static! It’s
easy to look or not to look at a market stall, but it isn’t at all easy to
ignore something that’s being constantly pushed into your damn face.
