Ads for Tumblr

Surfing for Good DIYs on Some Blogs is Getting Annoying because of the All the Ads!

It’s become a minefield on some blogs to just get to the DIY - from popup ads that you have to manually close, to auto play videos in the sidebar that you have to scroll down to find to pause (I do not want to see and hear “healthy tips for the start of the school year” on a blog), to closing the humongous ad at the bottom of the blog page etc… Some blogs are taking forever to open after loading all these ads. So whereas I would have automatically looked at a “maybe” DIY craft on these blogs, it has to be something really special for me to even venture over to open the page. I know bloggers want/need to make money, but there must be a better way to do it than bombard us with ads that quite frankly are annoying and in my face.

EDIT: I have Adblock but these are ads that are embedded in the sites’ HTML code :(
