Merge Ad blindness and Banner blindness
[edit]- The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.
- Merge done. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 13:43, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- Support Because there is no point in having duplicate articles on Wikipedia concerning the same information. Better to have the same information in one article. Ad Blindness and Banner Blindness should be merged as one article. Adamdaley (talk) 14:50, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Odd Tone
[edit]This article has a someone strange tone in my view. It seems to cater less toward general readers and more toward advertisers seeking to combat the phenomenon. Some of the sources (e.g. boostcompanies.com, marketingtechnews.net) are probably not reliable sources and the "Recommendations" section suggests some (IMO) ethically dubious courses of action without question. In particular, I was struck by the statement "(a)ds should be presented as tips or expert advice, rather than just plain ads." Sizeofint (talk) 02:03, 28 May 2019 (UTC)
- Placing a banner on the article was amusing but unhelpful. Sources and sentiments are best dealt with using inline tags, which indicate the contentious details more clearly. Or one can even edit the article per WP:SOFIXIT. Andrew🐉(talk) 12:20, 24 January 2020 (UTC)
Andrew: the issue with sources makes sense to put inline, but overall the article's tone is biased. Every other sentence would have that tag. I actually was about to mark it with Template:Essay-like before I checked the talk page and saw this discussion. I also don't think irony is a valid reason to avoid tagging the article for its issues. Strugee (talk) 04:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
Having a section called "Recommendations" is a big red flag, this is very POV. If we're going to recommend anything (which we shouldn't), the average reader might want to have recommendations on how to avoid or ignore ads (not that I'd advocate that, it's also POV, just a more common one). – gpvos (talk) 13:08, 7 July 2022 (UTC)
