The only way I would allow a business to show me ads is if they are extremely short and simple. I literally skip, one way or another, every single ad in every content medium I use. I read digital magazines with the 'text-only function so I see no graphics, adblocking on my browser, don't use any mobile apps for video or music, I download podcasts after they are completed and listen later so I can skip the ads the hosts manually read, and I download music and listen on my own media players. I fucking hate ads.
That said, if the advertising industry would change the way to do business, I could see giving in to 'see' ads. They would have to be about 5 seconds long, at the longest. There would only be 2 ads, maximum, in any advertising 'block', and no more than 3 'blocks' per show. Tell me the product name and what it does, and who sells it. That is all. If you can't do that in 5 seconds, I don't fucking care about it. If I wanna know more, I will visit their website.
