I don't think this whining is helping anyone either, it's a real turn off if anything.

I like watching SC2, but if the only way you can fund your organisation is by doing things that annoy the larger part of your customer base (which ads usually do), you're not really doing a good job.

Probably from wearing a hat in the weather, plus drinking, plus hot hall.
Also, because of manliness enough to calmly say, while smiling "Incontrol and Foreign hope? That ship's sailed."

He's lost some weight but he's hardly anorexic. His biceps are bigger than my waist. >.<

Why anyone would voluntarily watch a countdown is beyond me. Seriously ads take ~60sec and you can help them (some ads a pretty funny). I don't watch ads when I'm watching television (I just switch channels) and I hate seeing ads allover websites, so I just block them. Oh this is possible in Belgium? Here in Germany, ads appears at the same time at every channel. They try to allign them as well, but to be honest, I barely watch 15 minutes of TV per month. It's either switching channels or stretching my legs. No way I'm going to spend time watching commercials for things I'm not going to buy.
I don't see the logic in ever turning off ad-block. Ads are among the most annoying things on the internet. Many of them are down-right offensive. I will NEVER click on an ad so there is no point in me not blocking them.
I've been sad to see over the last 10 or so years its becoming harder and harder to avoid the ads. It used to be the net was a safe haven from them, now you have them on twitch, youtube, etc.
I'm going to enjoy my adblock while it lasts because I suspect such things will be outlawed or at least made a lot more difficult soon.

so you think for me to enjoy anything at all, i need to commit my personal time and energy to keeping it alive? i can't just casually like a thing? if i like apples, i have to give my money to orchards?
sorry about your unfortunate worldview, i guess
