I'm not against advertising, just this kind. It makes you sit through a
30 second long advert before you get to the sweet stuff. Now, I don't
have a bandwidth limit, but what about those users who do? Inline
adverts are better, and Google has them worked to a tee. If the model
doesn't work for the big companies then, it's time to find a new model,
but I think one in which the visitors to a site are treated like TV
viewers is not the way to go.
