5. My Mobile Data isn't drained before the end of the month.
6. I don't need to close several screen-filling ads and get redirected to nsfw-sites.
7. My attention is not distracted from your article by flashing, animated ads that try to sell me irrelevant content (but relevant ads would not be any better).

Seriously, there's #ethical #advertising, without all those flaws. So dear #companies, please switch instead of begging me to switch of my #ad #blocker!

@LuKaRo @thomasfuchs any examples of what's called "ethical advertising"?

Asking for the sake of completeness of the rant about how why I hate the ad industry I'm finishing writing.

@temporal @thomasfuchs I don't have any at hand right now. But searching for "ethic ads" should give results :)

For me, the ethics in advertising are:
- No animations
- No bright colors / contrasts
- No interference with content
- No nsfw content
- No tracking
- No spoofing of OS / Browser dialogues ("update"-/ "AntiVirus"-scam)
- No unethical content (scam-sites, viruses etc.)

Maybe the ads on explainxkcd.com can be called ethic: explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php
