BBC and advertising

Well, I guess it was bound to happen: BBC online ‘features’ ads. It’s the sign of our online times, right?

I just can’t comprehend how this ad business model has grown to a multi-billion revenue stream. I understand that I am seeing this from my own point-of-view… just because I never click on ads, never even pay attention to them, don’t watch TV (and even if I watch “Whose line is it anyway” from time to time, I do so through my Windows Media Center recordings so I skip the ads), it doesn’t mean that others don’t. People must be clicking on those banners A LOT!!!

One response to “BBC and advertising”

  1. Hey Savas,

    If you have a UK ip address (and I know you do!)you don’t get those banner ads, which is one of the extensive list of privelages we, over here in civilisation, get for paying our TV licence fees. We also get an awful lot of high-quality TV and radio content too, all without adverts.

    Come home and see for yourself mate 🙂
