I teach all my friends and business associates what I know. I tolerate absolutely no ads, trackers, flash cookies or anything else that I discover is stealing my bandwidth.

I think there is a certain level of "reasonable" trade between accepting some advertising and gaining useful content for free. I draw the line at intrusive ads which block my view or force me to take action as well as tracking my browsing habits.
As long as sites attempt to push this sort of advertising and tracking then I'll block them. Also I rarely even bother with sites which force you to keep clicking next to see something because they want to force ads on you.
