| Jul 10, 2012 at 11:45 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph | If you want a source for your claim that ads are all lies: Feynman said so, and cited some cases on multiple occasions. Amongst others: in The Pleasure of Finding Things Out (can’t find the chapter, it should be online somewhere). He claims that advertisement is fundamentally intellectually dishonest and consequently unethical. Of course, Feynman didn’t survey whether people agreed with him but it would be a start. | |

Opinion has its place, but is trumped by statistics - in an ideal world we would be able to cite studies and surveys in order to verify all of our answers. Unfortunately, your opinion only represents one data point and so isn't helpful as an answer to the question (which is asking about "users" in the aggregate). | |
| Jul 6, 2012 at 11:50 | comment | added | pistacchio | Well, the nature of the question, then, is misleading. What would an appropriate answer be? "According to this mathematical model this is why people like or dislike something"? "Citing this blogpost's opinion, this is the answer, but according to this other post the answer is the opposite one"? "This study says so, but a study with different subjects would say something else"? We are talking about user complains and tastes, here, so my answer, as a user, is as valid as any one else's. | |
| Jul 6, 2012 at 10:51 | comment | added | JonW♦ | Well as an existing StackExchange contributor you should realise that subjective opinion-based answers aren't useful to the site. ux.stackexchange is no different. Could your subjective answer be marked as correct? No, because it's just your opinion. | |
| Jul 6, 2012 at 10:45 | comment | added | pistacchio | the fact that this is my opinion is implicit in the very first word of my answer: "Personally". Any answer can't come from nothing but asking people why they don't want to see advs. One of the voices is now mine. | |

| Jul 6, 2012 at 10:37 | comment | added | JonW♦ | This is just your opinion though. How do you know that how you feel matches how all other users feel? | |
