You ignore them, you click them, you hide them, sometimes even automatically block them. Internet advertisements are commonplace on popular websites, and are the primary source of revenue for many websites. Recently, some web site hosts have started to fight against users of adblocking software, claiming that said users violate terms of usage or citing that it's not fair to block off avenues of funding the website. There are arguments on both side of the issue, where do you stand?
