The ironic part is they'd have to snailmail the ads to me before I'd see them. (First class mail, I throw away everything else unopened.) My browser just doesn't do ads anymore.

I think this will become the norm.

See lots of "clean" networks and tools, but you can of course pay to be on the whitelist haha

I've always resisted using ad blockers because I always thought the little publisher should get paid and I'm fairly blind to most banners anyway.  However, 1. The little guy seems largely gone, 2. Even legit pages are so infested with in your face ads that ad blocking is looking like the way forward.

In my case, gutted would be a better description.  Header, leaderboards, footers, alerts, left col, right col, nav, extraneous divs, etc. --gone.

Trick:  Only apply the gutting to regular browser windows, switch to incognito if you need to see some page element.
