This is an interesting issue. Webmasters (you guys are webmasters right? Not just porn surfers?) who believe that the endusers should be able to control consoles. Part of me says ok, yes consoles are annoying as hell and I would like them squashed. The other part of me knows first hand the revenue they generate. This revenue is something that webmasters benefit from.
So if in fact Microsoft and others are successful at ending all marketing done in this manner, and as a result you the webmasters sees a decline in the productivity of your traffic, will that be acceptable to you?
You can also take this further, what if endusers decided to widely just use software solutions to rip all images from a site and skip looking at text? Would you be supportive of this as well? Or if site owners and webmasters utilized solutions to counter this, would there be a similar discussion over how this is unfair because it counters the obvious wishes of the endusers?
I am very mindful of taking care of the surfers. Especially in the niche market, there is NOT an endless supply of surfers. We have a limited universe of potential customers and pissing them off is not something we strive to do. It really comes down to a balancing test of what is fair to both parties. There is a reason why we DO utilize consoles but DO NOT utilize prechecked cross sells.
Please discuss this some more, I am interested to understand this issue more fully.
