Your right but so is he. The fact is popups and ads will never end and anyone who buys a popup blocker should be complaining to the company not to the site they are visiting.
Lets say for example i run a large font site that gives away free fonts that i have created, Lets say i spend "X" hours a day creating really nice fonts, and i run a small ad on my webpage, but soon im not making so much money and im getting alot of people using and making money off my fonts. So lets say i put a popunder on my download page , and the user gets the free font and i can make a living off my work. Now should i work for free ? I cant do that. Should i close down my site because i cant pay the bills or add that popunder that keeps mr traffic the same , but the money is still coming in ?
I understand your position , your saying if they spent time and money on a blocker and finding a good site why are they getting popups.
Im saying , if you dont like the site then dont come back, that my opinion.
I dont like some sites because of big flash overlays that cover the content, but that doesnt mean i hate flash overlays or that i hate ads. Everyone has to make a living.
