Dear Swedish publishers

Just undertake to publish only ads that are not intrusive, do not involve tracking, do not try to sell peopole what they have already bought, are not animated, do not involve Flash, do not involve Java, do not pop up, pop over or pop under, are not misleading, do not cover huge swathes of the page, do not include any autoplay video and which have your abolute guarantee not to be tainted with malware. Cover my extra data cost that your noxious content requires to put itself on my machine. Then and only then will I quit using AdBlock.

Guys (OK, and girls): It is YOU, and only YOU, who got yourselves into this shithole. You are just reaping the fruits of that which YOU have sown.

Just quit whining and sort your act out.
