Yeah, some of these ad things are pretty smart. I remember one time, I just checked out to see the NYC Central Park website (I think it was just for pictures), and somehow I got on the email mailing list even though I never put in an email address. How did they do that!?

I got Adblock Plus mainly for the ads that pretend to be download buttons when you get to a site page that has a mod or program available for download. Without an ad blocker, you'll have like six download buttons showing up and only one of them leads to the real thing. I one time downloaded the wrong stuff and installed loads of data-mining and system-straining junk that took me over an hour to manually remove. I had to look up how to get rid of it all and then run Avast and Spybot on full system can to make sure everything was exterminated. Not fun. :C

So yeah, I know some sites depend on ads to make money, but I'd actually rather pay a small fee for a download than to deal with that stuff.
