FINALLY a sensible perspective...

Hats off to @aristophrenia for actually getting it right!

For anyone who thinks HTML5 will usher in an era of ad-free bliss, you are sorely mistaken. People will do the exact same annoying, crappy, buggy ads with HTML5 as they did with Flash, except this time, it's going to be even worse. Yes, WORSE happy

The beauty part about Flash ads is that you can install something called "click to flash". You can block them. You can disable your Flash plugin if you loathe it that much. With HTML5, you will have no recourse.

@aristophrenia is correct about this: We are headed 10 years back in time with HTML5, only this time we're supposed to crow about the amazing wonders of it, because it's all done without the aid of a nasty 'ol plug-in... Whoop-de-woo!
