My question is this: What if I DON'T want ads on my web pages?
I'm sick and tired of loading a web page and not being able to navigate the site for an additional five to ten seconds while the d**n thing searches for "relevant" ads.
When I search, I get many options to click on. Why do I need to wait on every single page while even more options are presented? I want to take a QUICK look to see if that page is giving me what I want and then move on to the next one without the unnecessary time taken to load what some other machine algorithm says is "relevant" and then decide if any of them is different what I've already been presented. I DON'T CARE. Let ME decide where I want to go without my wasting load time.
What if that first choice is exactly what I was looking for? Why do I have to sit and wait for the "relevancy" question to be determined when I'm already there?
Either speed up the algorithm or leave me to my own devices: give me an opt-out or opt-in for "relevant" ads. If you're going to use MY computer to make a profit, pay me a percentage. No percentage, no permission granted.
