I don't know if others feel this way, but I sometimes find ads that I would actually like to see.
Being an avid gamer, I often find my favorite games via ads that I find online while surfing the web.
Albeit, more often than not I get ads that are not related to gaming, and so I put on abp so that I don't have to waste my time.
I was wondering if you guys think it would be a good idea if abp had an option where you could filter the kinds of ads that you get, so that people like me could see the ads related to gaming, and be happy since I actually find it good when I see those ads, but no other kind of ads.
Thoughts?
Ads that I Want to See
Re: Ads that I Want to See
Personally, I really like this idea but that's quite a big technical challenge.
We're currently recognizing ads based on how they're served and how they're integrated into the page. To allow ads containing specific content we'd need to allow most (if not all) ads to be downloaded to then analyze and understand their content.
While this should be somewhat doable for text ads it'd probably be quite challenging for image, animated image, video and flash ads - not even mentioning its impact on the performance.
