Archivist David Rosenthal asks on his blog, Has Web Advertising Jumped The Shark?.
He points out that there are four big problems with Web advertising as it currently exists: The bad guys love it, the readers hate it, the webmasters hate it too, and the advertisers find that it wastes money. He then goes into detail on each point and concludes that not only does everyone involved hate the system, but that it is causing actual harm to society.

Most Americans would hate this. I love it personally, but it seems like most Americans can't even imagine living this way. That's probably where so much of the animus for the Nordic countries comes from; they can't admit a bit of thrift and Jante would do them some good, so they have to rationalize that it's something *else* (hence the thinly-veiled references to "it's all white people, no wonder it works!") or just plain insult you--and the reason they choose "socialist" as an insult is it's the worst thing they can think of.
You're Doin' It Right (TM); fuck the haters.
