I try to avoid ad block software because I'm poor, and I've seen how much funding web comics and what not actually get off of ads.
Best example is probably at:
http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com/t ... page-1209/Where Christian goes into detail about exactly what he was making before ad blocks were disabled, and what it went to afterwards. Now granted, he's an extreme case, but until I can afford to send these guys 3-5 bucks a month to cover my lost revenue, I don't want a massive blocking program.
it also wouldn't help with the high contrast eye strain. I wish I could shift my account though.
