Don't get me wrong, I agree they're annoying. :P I'm just looking at it from a business standpoint.

I have no wish to harm webmasters, but webmasters that think it's OK to saturate their sites will malware ads, annoyance ads, deserve all they get, IMO.

Until you start paying to use the site at all.

I find alternatives. There's always alternatives.

Edit,
Well, actually, my BlogTV costs about $25 a year. My friend bought me a pro account this year, but I'll likely continue it next year.

I'd never buy a dA premium account though. Since it full of assholes, and the staff are n00bs. That, and a dA Prem account has no real benefits besides the usual crap.

dA Prem has a few benefits like viewing more items at once, but past that it's useless and still not worth the money. :P

It's worth the money if you feel like giving something back to a site you like. :P That's pretty much the only reason I do it. That and being able to see many more things per page.

This is true. :P If I had to pay significantly more for SZ, I'd probably have a donation button up. For now, $10/month is ridiculously cheap.

Significantly more will be the time where more web content is up xD. On the side note, how much bandwidth are we consuming per month?

Though the thing is for websites, users like me whom use adblock are hurting the webmasters as described in this article.

Change their ad policy, then.

Host Gator gives like 1TB of bandwidth a month. No way do we use that. :P

Exactly. :P I think it';s more like 500GB, but still... we're really under-using it.
