The only site that irritates me a bit, but not enough for me to do anything about it, is BBC news.
The vast majority of any television news is carefully edited and spun propaganda anyways, aimed directly at the most primitive parts of the human mind, parts that can't discriminate between a television picture and being there in reality.
Flash is a tool advertisers use to collect data on consumers, even when their browsers' privacy settings are set to high and ads are blocked. I suppose some also use it as a way of controlling "intellectual property." That's fine by me. If somebody wants to make it annoying to see their "property" then I don't have to see their "property," right? I lose nothing; they do.
The only advertising I routinely block are ads that move. I hate moving stuff on web pages unless I allow it to move.
I'm not a mindless consumer cog in either "the economy" or the political landscape. I'm just a visiting feral human person who was born with nothing and will die with nothing.
If I can't give something away, for whatever reason, it was never really mine.
