I come to DailyKos, well, daily, pretty much. I do it for a fairly obvious purpose: I want to read the articles. Today, I couldn't do that.
Why not? Because there's this obnoxious burnt-up pink ribbon thing right on the text. No matter how I scroll or resize the window, there it is, right on the text. I can't make it go away. I can't see through it. I can't read a thing on the site because of this badly-designed ad.
So I've just blocked *.actblue.com in my hosts file, which means that any time my web browser requests content from the site, it won't appear. I'll never see any content from ActBlue at all, ever again, unless something reminds me hard enough to go put on my sysadmin hat and turn that off again.
Which just goes to say, don't be an asshole with your ads, even if you're on the "right side."
